“When I make more good decisions now, the good feelings build.”

^I am glad when I do too and it feels good.

I didn’t suffer in silence. By confiding in a few family members, I lessened myself in their eyes. Plus, they did not help me get out or get well. By speaking to or within earshot of my kids, I lessened myself to them as well.

If I had MI, I didn’t HAVE to speak about it to anyone except a doctor. By my doing so, I now think that’s why my sister and partly why my son turned 180º.
