Glad to hear that you're doing alright.
I don't know how much I want to share here in public. People always just use things I disclose about my personal life to hurt me. You know, for example I've revealed that I struggle with anxiety and depression and people use that knowledge to be all "Off your medication today, I see" followed by a pic of pill box when they disagree with me about something because it's just hilarious that I require antidepressants. Shouldn't have ever said anything, but it's way too late for that now. I feel like if I say very much about my mom, people will just use that knowledge to perhaps make fun of her for suffering as a way of getting to me emotionally because that's the kind of community this is. I don't think that's in her best interests or mine.
Anyway, with regard to that last part, I think you're right. The experts all say that that's the way to lead a longer, happier life. That's doubtless a major part of my problem: I spend so much of my life trying to change things instead of just accepting things and going along.
