I can empathize with a lot of what you have said. I have struggled with a lot of anxiety in my own life and I know how it can be consuming at times. I am still on my medication and not a day goes by where I try to convince myself that I should go back off it again but I know I can't. I'm on it for anxiety and a mood stabilizer so I know it's different but I do know where you're coming from when you feel like you've failed if you need medication to cope for a while. I am hopeful that there will come a time I can wean myself off mine too. I have functioned without it in the past but when I bring stressors into my environment then sometimes I need some extra help. Anyway, before I write a novel I just want you to know that I realize I can't throw compliments at you and make it better. I realize it is a personal growth type of thing. I'm going to say it anyway though because it's the truth and it's an important thing for us to hear these sorts of things especially when we are vulnerable. Jess, you are an amazing person. You are smart and strong and the fact that you are seeking help and being honest with yourself is just such a beautiful thing. So many people fall deeper and deeper because they don't know what to do but you are true enough to yourself to do what needs to be done even if it isn't the easiest path to take because you know it will lead to what you want in the end. I know you will get there. Just keep at it. If you ever want to talk or need anything you know where to find me. Keep smiling. <3 I’m sorry that you are having such a rough time lately.

You should do that more often. (I should, too! We're bad at this.) Anyway, I'm sorry to hear about your anxiety coming back, but I want you to know that even though we don't hang out very much (which we should change, btw!) I still consider you a friend and if there's *anything* you need or that I can do to help, please don't hesitate to ask. I can also provide gluten-free cupcakes, I still have that special flour in my cupboard! ;) Oh my god, you blogged! You should do that more often. (I should, too! We’re bad at this.)

Really, though, I hope you don't have to deal with her anymore and she's done with her little stint. Those pictures are absolutely awesome. Wow I’m sorry your neighbor is such a crazy person.
