Of all the various professionals my wife met one with whom she's made the most progress.  The woman is calm analytical offering several solutions.  She works for Ethan Allen as their salesperson and designer.  We had an Ethan Allen couch and thinking about another seemed to give my wife some security and return to normalcy.  Obvious long road ahead but it seems we're making a little progress.

my hubs recently chose an estate lawyer based on having played high school basketball with a fellow by the same name. myself, i flip a coin for these heavy weight decisions. heads is yes. tails is no. reducing the equation to a yes or now answer is the hard part.

whatever the basis for the connection, hope healing happens here.

and how are YOU?

You do have a long road ahead, it’s good you recognize that. Recovery is not a straight path, it includes setbacks and zig zags. Expect it as part of the recovery. I’m glad to hear of the progress.

There are ups and downs. Happen to be cleaning up and saw maybe 10 pills under the bed so apparently my wife hasn't been compliant with her medication. Meeting with the psychiatrist tomorrow; I told my wife fine if you don't want to take the medicine then please try to work doing the other things people say will help, Any case, meeting with the Ethan Allen lady tomorrow.

I am confused. Is the Ethan Allen sales person a phychiatrist?

No a little joking here. She sells furniture but seeing here gave my wife a sense of comfort, put her in familiar circumstances, and made her feel better. In practical terms the salesperson seems to accomplish more than the professionals.

    I did the dumbest thing today.  I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds.  I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym.  What a dummy!

    Ever since I stopped doing therapy because of insurance, I've been feeling that old tense and irritable sense of anxiety and stress. I hate that. I was making so many strides and changes during therapy, my therapist would acknowledge all of my progress and accomplishments, and I miss that reassurance. Today I thought about it, and I made those changes! She would always tell me that I chose to...
