There is hope!

Ive tried writing this message about ten times and it doesnt feel right but I still want to say this so bear with me.

For the first time as an adult I think Im slowly coming out of depression. The fleeting moments of peace are growing longer. Im finding myself feeling happy without noticing. My baseline seems to have moved from depression to "what the hey, Im who I am, Im nice, lets chill".

I still havent worked out how to feel towards the person that took this away from me. But that in itself doesnt mean as much anymore anyway.

Id never felt this before and am "playing it by ear" at the moment. Taking each day as it comes. But this board and you guys played a huge part in this! Thanks.

And where ever you are at the moment. Im here for you all as you have been for me.

Mark,

That's a big step forward. When you say "what the hey, Im who I am, Im nice, lets chill", you are keeping things in the present and working on your future. Those are the places where we are empowered bro.

I notice your reference to "playing it by ear". That's probably because this all feels so new. I think you are right to take each day as it comes and keep things slowed down for awhile. Gain some confidence in what you have won and lay down some solid foundations.

Much love,
Larry
