Andy, you definitely are progressing in the right direction. I know Dad is so proud of you. Thank you for reaching out to help others going through similar issues. Love, Mom.
Andy, thank you for so clearly showing us the difference between pain and suffering. I, too, have dealt with massive (and all-too-frequent) doses of anxiety and depression, and the mistake I've made is in over-identifying these states until they've become ever-present and foundational. But by asking myself what the pain *means*, that could be a game changer.
Thanks so much for the comment and fully agree, Larry! It’s tough in the moment, but with time and space, we can start to ask what we can learn from it.
