Dear Gaia:

I am fine, thank you. It is a new year and a new decade, how exciting! I am so glad to read that you made it an intention for this new year and decade to focus on your mental well-being. Maybe counseling is available for you,  maybe through the university you are attending, or some community resource in your area.

Also, remember that psychiatric drugs can help to lessen the distress you feel sometimes, and if you do find good counseling, those drugs can help you benefit from counseling.

And please do post anytime. I want to read from you as often as you want to post here.

Happy New Year!
