Thanks to everyone who congratulated me on 6 months! It really means a lot to me.

Here are some more favorite ways that It Gets Better:
- I can look myself in the eyes in the mirror again
- people are starting to trust me again
- I'm starting to trust and love myself again

It gets SO MUCH better.

Thank you for this thread! Early on it's hard to "see the forest through the tress." It's awesome to know what the future holds.

Every word is true, lessgravity. Six years plus in and it is still getting better and better.

Awesome thread!
You hear 1 or 2 people say something and it's like" ok".
You hear a whole group of people say the same thing through the course of years and its like " this ain't no bullsht!"

Thanks for the thread and the bump!

This is added to my list to go back to when needed
