Well, you don't have expose all your vulnerabilities, so I hope that helps. So often when we are in a bad place and feeling low, we tend to categorize everything into 2 categories, usually polar opposite of each other. But the reality is is that there is a lot of middle ground. So, you start aiming for a little improvement at a time and then you eventually find yourself in a relatively good spot. Babies don't learn to walk overnight, you know?
