It took a lot of strength for me to get to where I'm at now…

Now that I've been
through treatment

and now that I've lived
with it a while

and learned to manage
the symptoms,

do not see it as being
weak any longer.

I see it more, it takes a
lot of strength

to come forward and
admit you have a problem.

It takes a lot of strength
to actually work through,

work on the symptoms, work
through the treatments,

work through all the mixed
emotions that you get,

that you're gonna get
through treatment,

but, and you know, having
experienced it now,

it took a lot of strength
for me to get to

where I'm at now,

and if I was weak,
there's no way I would've

made it through the
treatments,

and I would've made it,
you know,

overcome a lot of those
symptoms or overcome a lot

of the negative emotions
that I was having

and all that.

So I think prior while I
might have felt

it was weak,

I certainly do not think
it's a weakness at

this point, so.
