This is a great place to process. To journal. Use it to it's full potential.

As for the timeline, you don't see results right away. You make the changes and start the process and then you have to continue the changes for yourself and be patient. It takes time for the WAS to notice and more time for them to believe that the changes could be real and lasting. They have to be lasting, that's why they have to be made for yourself.

As for sounding like a hypocrite, we always see others situations more clearly. Sometimes giving advice is the best way to take your own advice.
