Thank you Hope, and Anita,

Anita the therapist that I work with is very experienced and passionate in her approach to my treatment. I’ve been seeing her once a week for a few months now and she always challenges me to do the hard work and will not hesitate to call B.S. on me either for making excuses or living in the past. For me it’s all about letting go of my past so I can be in the now. Staying grounded is a real struggle for me. Going to other therapist and giving up when it became hard usually left me looking for another person to see and a new diagnosis. At the moment I’m treated for severe depression, PTSD, anxiety, social disorder, intermittent explosive disorder, and I’m looking into ADD because normal tasks, and daily responsibilities are extremely difficult. What I like most about her is I don’t feel like I’m just another patient rather a student that is eager to learn to live a healthier, more productive life.

And Hope I appreciate your kind words. I’m in a stage of loneliness, acceptance, and grief. My intentions are always good to me, I just have to accept that not everyone thinks like I do, or expect loved ones around me to be a mind reader. I let pride disrupt my progress and get me off track so my new goal for now is to accept the things I cannot change, change the things i can, and the mindfulness to know the difference.

Thanks again,

Ryan
