It’s more of a matter of staying in the right state of mind.  Life is a continuous struggle but we all just need someone to just really listen to us sometimes without the lecture.  That’s what I appreciate about good therapists.  But therapists aren’t our friends.  Sometimes our friends are busy with their own little families and such and may not have time for us.  That’s when it helps to be self sufficient.  I think the thing that I’m actually beginning to realize that I’m missing is support but not from the people that I know truly care about me but from the wrong people.  That’s when I let things bring me down.  At the end of the day, everything is going to be ok.  I have my health, a decent job and family and friends that may be pains in the butt sometimes but so can I.  Things are working out.
