"Are you too happy?"
So happy that you are being asked if you are too happy. That is a good sign my friend. Hopefully they can help you with the other pain as well. We so need to try for a meet up soon for coffee (or milder beverage) and shopping. We have joined the ranks of the I-Phone family, and I finally want some fitting room fun.

I have been waiting for a post like this from you! I am sooooooooo happy to hear that you are finally taking pride in your hard work. You are awesome and what you have accomplished boggles my mind!
I'm glad you and Ree had a good time. BTW - the lawyer thing turned out to be fun! It was all elegant casual, the people were great, and the food was all small plates with tons and tons of organic protein! Was good to get out of the burbs and into the city, too.
Stay happy, my friend. You deserve to be.
I've been around here for almost a year, and have followed you (and kept you in my thoughts and prayers!) through your journey.
Kudos on your amazing progress, and your commitment to yourself.
Take care!

I love that even in the midst of all of the pain you're getting stronger. Call it happy if you want (although could you dial down the sunshine just a tad? You're blinding my eyes!), but I say that it's your character emerging now that your brain chemistry is fixed.
I wish nothing but peace for you, and freedom from pain. You're an inspiration to us all!

I can't even begin to express my admiration of you without sounding like a total dork, but please know you are very much a hero of mine! I send all of my good thoughts and happy prayers your way. You WILL come out of all of this devastatingly hard time in your life even stronger and peaceful...no doubt in my mind at all.
Keep on fighting your good fight!
