For the past several years I have been seeing a therapist for various issues. Started weekly, then twice a month to monthly. We have mutually decided that it is time to bring it all to a close. Most have been issues with Anxiety, as well as controlling my spending of money and gambling (lottery tickets). We decided that while I may not be "cured", if there is such a thing, I have reached a point in my life where I am in a much better place.
She got me through the Loss of Rick, the decision to give up the house and move to the apartment . Also improved my ability to interact with people in real life with out anxiety, or the feeling I need to isolate myself.
I will have one last visit, next month. It will end with the understanding that if I ever find myself in a bad place emotionally, I can call her a do a few visits
I am happy for me. I have come a long way.

I'm happy for you too Marie
 
It is definately a big step. She knows I am on the internet a lot, and have told her about SF. She said it was good I come here, but reminded me about being with people in RL too. I do. I spent about an hour this afternoon sitting outside visiting with neighbors as they came and went,

Marie, I'm very happy for you, you've been through so much since losing Rick and as I've said before, I admire you so much for your strength and in doing all the right things to help yourself through all the changes you've endured. It's good to know that she's there if you need her in the future for any short term guidance. Sending you my love and a big hug my friend. Hope you have a peaceful and pleasant summer. 🧡

I'm really happy for you. It's great that you found a therapist who was such a good fit and who was able to help. I like that she has an open door policy in case you need to revisit some things.
