At the end of my previous thread a few of you pointed out that there are a lot of positives going on that I might be overlooking. Earlier in my growing stage I was much better at finding the positives but I began to feel I was painting a fantasy picture. Now I refuse to see the positive for fear it will give me false hope. I need to find a balance there.
I have my first IC appointment since BD today. First appointments make me anxious mostly because it requires explaining 18 years of history. I have a tendency to talk incessantly but I really need to listen more. Get more feedback and direction rather than talk it to death.
I'm grateful for all of your insights, support and commiseration. The journey continues... with hope.
