As some of you know, I am at the hospital because of a couple of medical issues. It is not nice but the silver lining was that it was an opportunity to get a T and a Pdoc here. I had been postponing re-starting a treatment for my depression for a long time and being at the hospital for other issues somehow helped me to make a decision about my mental health. Ok, I just wanted to share this

This is good news! This way the pdoc and T will be fully aware of your other issues and include them in shaping treatment for you.

Thank you for sharing Clara. I'm so sorry you had a hospital stay and I hope things will continue to improve.

Hopefully, this is marks the beginning of some very good things for a very deserving person!
Thanks for this!
