So frustrating, but you're making wonderful progress--finally! Here's hoping the new agency is different like night and day. It is so discouraging that the help you are supposed to be getting takes so much of your rare and precious energy to manage--like a Catch-22.

I am going to see a psychologist on Friday, for help in managing these big life-changes. The irony is that the reason I'm going is that I'm doing so well. When I was doing worse, I wasn't up to getting myself the help I needed. So, I can really only get help when I don't need help. But I'm going anyway. Maybe I'll learn something I can use when I really do need it.
