re: #227 BadgerB

Thank you and big hugs to you too. One of the things a therapist told me after my son was born and I was in a really dark place was that because my brain has chemical imbalances that it will lie to me. When I feel ugly and stupid and worthless, it’s a lie, and that I have to keep working on that, that those things are lies and that I am not going to fall into the trap of believing that because there are people, like my son who need me around. And who don’t think those things about me. But it’s hard, and I have learned to (mostly) accept that this is part of the fabric of who I am. It’s taken decades to get here.
