(((Rod))) I absolutely cannot do this on my own. I require the assistance of my p-doc. I require the assistance of my T. I require the additional assistance of EMDR therapy. My T and I talked extensively about happiness. We concur that happiness is not necessarily what we are trying to find here. It's contentment. With myself, with my life, with my choices. When I finally accepted that it was something I wouldn't be able to figure out on my own, and couldn't continue to self medicate with alcohol and weed, I started to get better. It helps for me to realize that it's taken me 42 years to get this messed up, so straightening myself out is going to be a long process. I'm OK with that - just popping a pill or talking for an hour isn't going to cure me. It will be an accumulation of learning new habits, sharing my experiences so I don't feel so very alone, and accepting that medication is not a bad thing. It's helping me to live better.
