Atta girl, A. Good for you.

It's important to remember that you feel what you feel. There is no set timeline to get to where you need to be.

It is necessary to go through all the steps. You dont want to skip any because then you find yourself with a setback.

So, here's my two cents. I see a therapist for therapy and a psychiatrist to monitor my meds. The few minutes I have with the psychiatrist is not nearly enough to deal with everything I have to deal with.

Took me a long time to find the right therapist. But, man, when you do, it's a life changer.

A, you need to feel that you are ok. Only you can get to that. Who you are is enough. No amount of attention from a man, no amount of achievement in work, or anything else from outside influences embody who you are inside.

You are uniquely you. None of us are perfect. None of us are mistake free. We are good people who do the best we can.

And that matters, too.

A, embrace you. You are enough. You matter.
