You know you really are blessed - because you are aware that this is a process you are going through. we all face a cross-roads in our lives, and make choices that will either take us forward or keep us stagnant. I couldn't see this when I was at the height of my Depression - I just wanted it all over (was suicidal), but now I know that this all to teach me.
I know exactly what you mean about how it feels to help other people..
I do also believe that one day I will be using my experience with this to help other people (not sure in what capacity - doesn't matter)-it would be the least I could do afterall!
Thanks for your honesty raider.
