I saw a therapist for the first time a week ago. For depression episodes I've had all my adult life.

13. Therapy does help.

Partially, simply setting aside the time to focus on yourself and issues gives a person a chance at success.

We are only as sick as our secrets in some ways. Hiding pain and shame gives it more power in our lives.

When I started getting better, I noticed guys seemed to be crawling out of the woodwork and began noticing me, but just like cockroaches, they weren't really the healthy relationships I wanted.

So to NOT get into the same old same old, I wrote up 2 lists.

One was for all the things that would be great in someone I could love for the rest of my life.

One was for who I wanted to be in a relationship.

My second hubby was everything on my list and being with him helps me live up to mine as well.

After 30 years together, he does get on my nerves once in awhile, but hey, we just get through it and figure it out.

PROBLEM SOLVING was big on the list... so found someone who isn't afraid to deal with stuff.

Good on you for getting started on being healthier.

HOPE YOU GET A WHOLE NEW LEASE ON LIFE AND SENSATIONAL RESULTS.
