I’m so happy there are people like you in this world. You are a shining example of strength and tenacity for going through those struggles (especially while being with an uncaring husband). I couldn't imagine going through anxiety and episodes of depression without my boyfriend by my side, and I’m grateful for him every day.

I also loved it when you said, “None of it was easy. The changes sound good, which they ended up being, but the process was fucking hard.” Too often, we celebrate achievements in overcoming struggles, but I call them, “the scars of success.” This type of emotional trauma tends to leave its mark on people, and for some, it can take years+ to feel “fully normal” again.

Knowing that you are able to float through the pains of life gives me hope that I’ll be able to do the same one day too. ❤️
