My happiness in reading this new post far outweighs my annoyance at it being so long since the last one. (Think about that last post: not the cheeriest one!) I am glad you have kitten therapy working for you as well as seen some professional help. Don't be complacent about medications. Keep changing until you've found the right balance that manages the anxiety with the ability to do things that also help keep the anxiety down: exercise, keeping commitments with friends, etc.

Your story is very encouraging for others, so please keep us in the loop! Flux is the norm, my dear, it's not the enemy. I'm reading several positive things here, including the urge to resurface and continue sharing this amazing transformation.

Many hugs for you!
