I'm telling you, your post today was an exact and specific answer to prayer for me. Thank you so much for sharing. I've felt despair all week and now I feel hopeful.turleybensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13267174260543461482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213499219669709454.post-88043834027183947462011-10-01T09:17:24.520-07:002011-10-01T09:17:24.520-07:00You are such a wonderful person, I have known you ...You are such a wonderful person, I have known you since you were little.

This is a great p...Nice disclosure at the end! :)<br /><br />This is a great post Lyns. My hubby and I went to therapy together this last year. The first six weeks of visits consisted of me conversing in a superficial manner. But honestly, it took that long for me to peel back the layers of what I truly struggle with. I am amazed at how easy it is to slap on the layers of denial for the purpose of appearing well put together or for the purpose of achieving unrealistic expectations. <br /><br />I can relate to those sleepless nights and spinning thoughts. I have found peace in reading books about the Savior. In hopes of coming to know him better and thus... myself.<br /><br />But I very well may need to add to therapist job security so that I can figure out how to get off my medication for depression. That problem was completely self inflicted, but I hope to some day come to terms with my mistakes so that I can be free from medication and the idea that I am a failure while on them.<br /><br />Strange though. I do consider myself a very happy person. Anyone that sees me in church from week to week would be flabbergasted to know that I have demons in my closet. I guess that just goes to show that we all do! Life is for the learning.<br /><br />ps. In your other post I noticed your darling room with black and hints of green - LOVE IT! Those bubbly colors reflect your fun personality. <br /><br />How is Andrea BTW? Is she as tired of dating as my newly divorced sister is?? That mormon singles scene can be a hoot!<br /><br />Which brings me to my next point. Have you read the book <br />The New York Regional LDS Singles Halloween Dance (or something like that?)<br /><br />I heard it is a screaming hoot! (beware.... I heard there are some cussing words) But I did hear that it was a hilarious read. THought about getting it for my single sister! <br /><br />hugs,<br />jocekittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986698622069917383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213499219669709454.post-68962701894561622332011-09-08T19:36:34.849-07:002011-09-08T19:36:34.849-07:00You are stunning.

REALLY.<br /><br /> And I've had almost the exact same experiences as you with therapy. I could probably copy and paste this post to my own blog and it would all fit... except that Ben stuff...ClancyPantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08013193697535163509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213499219669709454.post-46323977680975563822011-09-08T13:45:05.067-07:002011-09-08T13:45:05.067-07:00Lynsey, thanks for your honesty and bravery.

I wish my family would consider it.
