I'm...dare I say it...happy! (WARNING: LONG & POSSIBLE EMOTIONAL TRIGGERS)

Thanks so much!  I'm going to to stay on this path for as long as I'm willing and able!!

Hugs!!!!!!

You really are an awesome person to overcome what has happened in your past and move forward in such a positive way. You are also an inspiration to people who may have dealt with some of the same issues. To be open and honest like you have makes it easier for someone else who does not have the strength to deal with their own issues. It can help them feel like they can be happy too.

Your a Rockstar!!!!!!

Thanks!!  I draw so much strength from all of the wonderful people here and on MFP.  And I refuse talk about my experience with mental illness in hushed tones.  There's too much stigma out there as it is.

Sandra, 

Real life.  Real stuff.  You are overcoming...real joy...Glad you're making those discoveries.  I'm happy to be on this journey with you!

Thanks, Lesa.  You know how much I've learned from you.  It's been a tremendous help.  

  Thanks! No need to cry.  I've done enough of that for everyone.  LOL!

Soooo Awesome!  That is beautiful and wonderful!  So happy to hear this!

Thank you!! I appreciate that.
