@headrockingmomma - I think that the attitude of gratefulness will get you far. I ended up in cognitive behavioral therapy years ago when I didn't know anything about it, and I truly found that ruminating on negative thoughts all day (e.g., I'm no good) will just wreck you after awhile.
Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect, and I'm grateful you are still breathing, as you mentioned, and that you are taking your medications and using tools that will help you function optimally despite your injury. You are indeed among "your people" here.
What turned you around from grieving and mourning (which are normal, by the way), to focus on what you wanted to celebrate and be grateful for?
