You are doing something healthy to take care of yourself. Of course, sometimes you need to "alter the truth" for work and stuff where people don't (and probably shouldn't) know your business.

Sorry if I gave the impression that I might feel ashamed about going to therapy. That truly isn't the case. As a matter of fact, I talk to many of my friends and family about it when they are willing to listen. The thing is, my son hasn't quite grasped the meaning of the word discreet. And while I'm willing to talk to friends and family about my therapy, I don't know that I want him telling his daycare teachers, moms of the other kids, or the cashier at the grocery store. Know what I mean?
I do appreciate your concern :). You're very sweet! Thanks for the post!
