This time of year is meant to be filled with joy and family get-togethers, but not everyone has family or anything to be happy about. So are you ok?

        It really is. It’s funny, I was already dealing with my issues in healthy ways apparently, not that it felt like it helped at the time. When I was going through the intro sessions with my therapist and I was talking about my past and my issues, etc, I would describe an annoying behavior I don’t really like that I would use to work around myself and get hit with the “no, that’s good, that’s adaptive” and thinking about it that way it starts to make sense how I’m still alive. Anyways now with the meds, I no longer need half those things and can actually work on fixing the causes, rather than use behavioral work arounds
