Willem,

Glad to hear you are doing better...and I like your testimony. We will meet someday as I too am a believer in Christ.

Good spouses are a real life saver when long term injuries occur. Your wife sounds like she is of great character.

Praying for a strong future for you two.

Bud

Hi Willem,

Welcome. In reading your thoughtfully articulated post, it's clear that you've been dealt some difficult challenges to face. I think it's fair to say that anyone put into your shoes would be struggling to cope and move forward, and it's probably good to remind yourself of that fact. To me, the fact you have the courage to post your challenges and are looking for help is something that is really, really positive.

While I can't relate to all your issues, I can relate to a fair number of them. Know that you're not alone, and also that finding the right help can make a significant difference in your life. I think it's fair to say that a Psychologist and Psychiatrist seem like a great start... both experts can likely tweak your meds and provide strategies for dealing with those gloomy, dark days that we all dread so much.

Keep up the fight Willem
