Never underestimate the power of a hug!It's great that you're starting to feel an emotional lift. Hang in there, kiddo! It gets better, believe me. I know it's discouraging at times because the progress feels so slow when you're in the middle of it all but you just wait. It's going to feel wonderful with this is behind you. At least it will if you share my experience. And it took me a while for sure. My take is that it was very much worth the wait. Keep us up to date and know that we care.
