VI

I learned that not only does my life have value, that I’m worthy of love. That acceptance and forgiveness are not optional in the healing journey. Learning how to love yourself, more than anyone can, is more important than finding someone else to.

Last, but certainly not least, I will end this story, similar to the way that group today, ended:

What can be said, in terms of what I discovered during my personal exploration in group today, along my wayward journey of reflection, into forgiveness, and eventually healing, that I have, as I will continue to, break barriers in, daily, today?

I learned that - regardless of the harsh, critical judgements and opinions, usually blatant by obvious negativity from an overwhelmingly large group in individuals of the opposite belief - whatever stigma that still exists around the medication, and prescription of, drug treatment therapy's maintenance drugs, meant to correct the chemical inbalance he's not something I need to be ashamed of. I've taken a responsibility to - no, I owe it, to myself - to society, to my family, to my children

Before you go, find at least one thing to take away from this story, from my story, from your own story, and use it, to change someone's life.
