Hi! After 24 years of being positive I am now on Lexapro and it has seemed to take all that away. I take each day at a time.

I get on a flaky website devoted to helping people cope with illnesses. 🤠.

After reading what others are up against and trying to keep the focus on gratitude and hope, I return to my own life and do the same.

It works.
