This has been a harder Christmas on me than last year in a few ways. It is also better in some ways. I am so happy this year is kinder to you...I recall a year when I lost both my sister and brother and had other issues and I know how nice it can be to have a better year like yourself. I really am glad for you.
> I have been thinking back to how things were last year at this time. I remember the holiday last year, and some of the thoughts that were going through my mind over the break, and it feels amazing how much has changed. At that time I really thought I was going crazy, and was full of ideas of suicide and self destruction. Now, although I still go through rough patches, I feel softer, gentler, as if there is so much ahead. Even though there are huge problems in my life, around my marriage and work and old age, the future feels exciting and I am enjoying the journey. Therapy has had a huge part to play in this.
