Also, a quick note on the SSRI piece-- these truly do help a good amount of people in a way that we don't yet understand, so please don't listen to this and change anything without discussing it with a professional first. They helped me sleep and rid my insomnia, so I'm not demonizing them especially if they work for you :)
Are you ready to change your reality now? Not in a month, not in a year, not in five years.

Spending your life carrying or helping others and neglecting Self
