At the same time I know that change for anyone - even those who aren't diagnosed with a disorder - is an extremely difficult and sometimes painful process. So I sympathize with your struggle. But I hope you will indeed keep moving forward, because the end result is most certainly worth it.

Wow, thank you so much! I highly appreciate the kindness that has been shown to me around here.
People always have the potential to change, they just have to want to. Everyone has choices, and for me personally learning that I truly do always have choices has been immensely valuable for my personal growth.
You're right, change isn't easy for anyone regardless of what disorder they have or don't have. It's a painful process to really look at yourself in the mirror in an honest way.
I appreciate your sympathy, that is a kindness I am not often granted.
I want to keep moving forward, it's hard and painful work but I don't ever want to end up back where I was. It was a truly miserable existence.
