Amy,

Just tell yourself that it's a must. It's not easy and nobody has a good time going through these txs. I can barely swallow and get enough calories but I'm trudging through this dark tunnel. You know why? It's a must. One step at a time, one tx at time, one problem at a time, one day at a time. You can do it because you have too. Try to think of all the the important things in your life and how you want more. Think about all the important people in your life, hopes, love, time and if it helps--God. One step at a time. You can do this...
