Thanks for sharing. I needed a reminder that I’m not a failure if I’m still trying, and it is a process to get better. I appreciate the encouragement.

A friend sent me a link to this today, which sums up the process pretty well, I think.

Also, hope the kiddies are better ASAP and you don’t catch what they have.

Thanks. They’re not 100% yet, and both missed school again today, but they’re doing better than they were yesterday. As for me, I’m gonna keep bathing in hand sanitizer and hoping it works!

I just made my first appt to talk to someone. Scared shitless, but wanted to say thanks, anyway. The first part of your blog read like my current internal monologue, and seeing someone who seems to be facing similar symptoms be taken seriously and treated, well, that helps fight the “It’s not THAT bad, stop whining” thought. So, thanks, hopefully it gets better!

I’m glad, and I completely understand the fear. Congratulations on taking a very hard step, and I very much hope it helps!!!

Can’t outstubborn it.
So this means that the fact that I haven’t been able to outstubborn it yet might not be a lack of character on my part.
I hate therapy. I hate my veggies, too. Thank you for some timely words.

Yep. Don’t get me wrong, I tend to be pro-stubbornness, but I guess it turns out that can’t fix everything. Who knew, right?
