I was feeling super depressed and then I saw something which lifted my spirits in a huge way.

My ex boyfriend, we parted on good terms, is now a therapist and he's living with PTSD and TBI. When I saw that somehow it pushed me back down off the ledge of severe depression I was living on. I said to myself, if he can be a T with both problems, I can do what I've always wanted to do. I had been holding myself back, afraid of getting triggered. So yesterday I did exactly that. And there were no triggers. :D

When I left my ex he had anxiety and panic attacks (mostly anxiety) and he didn't have a TBI.

During the time I knew him, I lived with anxiety and occasional panic attacks like him for years. I was dissociating but didn't know it. Alters had started to emerge and I didn't know it until years later.
 
Anything that gets our attention and moves us from the edge is a good thing.... what ever sends us hope.... we do get tired of the pain and work.... we need motivators and they are out there, but what a wonderful surprise when one gets out attention... happy to hear you are feeling better and that you tried something new....
