The depression lifted and I am no longer looking into the abyss and looking for an end to it all. I can see life as precious and worth living. To me those are the two things that mean the most to me.

As an aside, I've also gotten better at actually FEELING my emotions, instead of stuffing them down and denying their existence. I can actually FEEL them in my body I still have a lot to learn about what to do with them, but at least I'm feeling them.

I've also stopped twisting myself into a pretzel to accommodate others. I've learned to set a boundary and stick to it! I think this one is a big one for me but I'm not sure it was totally due to therapy; I think getting older has a lot to do with this one.
