Dear Cecia:
It reads like you had good therapy, that you no longer catastrophize and no longer add misery by judging yourself negatively for feeling depressed when you do. It is most difficult to apply what we learn in times of great challenge. To think of potentially very challenging situations in my life- it scares me to even think about it. And I don’t know if and how well I will use what I learned during such time. So, I wonder if it is at all possible for you to further apply what you learned in this very challenging situaion you are facing. It is a tough one. And you have already been applying what you learned… perhaps it is about keeping the efforts, trying better (not necessarily harder) so that you come out of it all stronger…It is one of those things with no guarnatees, something that requires courage and even faith… faith in the process. And it requires a lot of humility- on my part- when I write this here because I don’t know how I would do…

Please post again…
