Hey, thanks for sharing. I think for me it's going to be about "testing out" that best possible adult self, as you put it. Well, not that I can just magically flip a switch and be that way, but I do see the value in experiencing what can seem scary and then discovering that it can be empowering. I used to have anorexia and went to inpatient treatment and all that and it took a couple years to fully recover, but now that I've experienced life free from that, I don't have any desire to run back to that. But of course I still have other diagnoses, including BPD, that warrant therapy, so I think maybe that helped me let go of the anorexia because I knew I still had something. Anyway, I'll try to keep in mind that there is life beyond mental illness. Tackling one diagnosis at a time I guess.

Thanks!
