What’s a chapter of your life you’d title “The Hard Years” — and what got you through it?

View all responses

Ohhhh, I had several years that are “annus horribilis”, but the 2016-2018 and 2022-2023 are the ones that come up to mind. Lots of health related issues during those years, as well as personal issues encountered those years made it so hard for me. The mental health was in such a bad state, 2016-2018 were the worse as I also was in a suicidal ideation/action phase during those years. It was BAD-BAD!

But I survived, and I am now happy and as healthy as I can be (still have medical issues, but they are manageable).

What got me through it all? Friends. Medication. Taking time for myself. My kid. My cats.
