Dear Jackie Response

Hi Jackie. My name is Janice and you responded to my Dear Jackie question. You know just writing all that stuff done got a lot off my chest. I just wanted to let you know though that it was really helpful. You just sound so warm and real and you made me feel like I was okay. I do see where this situation is affecting my self esteem and it's true, I don't even do little things for myself like play my favorite music loud. I did it yesterday and it did make me feel good to feel that music and dance around like a kid again. As you said, I do need to start looking for the little things in my life that bring me joy. I need to start finding new things or take little risks as you said. I think this will make me feel like I can make my own future if I become my own orchistrator.

I have to say that your response brought a smile to my face. Your really funny. I like that. It's good to see that I can still find things funny. I will keep working on it. I will probably use your Dear Jackie service again, but I will if I feel I need to, get a good counsellor as you say, if I feel things are not improving. Thanks again for your help. I just wish I could use you as my face to face counsellor.
