Babou

I have been under a psychiatist's care since I was 25.

Therapy following meds.

In addition to the meds (a million of them), I am seeing a good therapist who reads my journal to me each week. Last week I wrote in my journal that I accept the fact that I'm a good person and I am lovable. I never thought I was anything but a mess of a human being.
