I described healing to my therapist as a well that's been dry finally starting to fill with water. After a while, there is enough water to start dipping a bucket and sharing with others. It honestly surprised me when I started looking forward to what my life will look like 5-10 years from now, as opposed to the dread I used to feel just getting out of bed each day. My outlook on life has completely changed with the right mix of medication and therapy.
