DH and I started marriage counseling today and I found it very helpful. The Therapist wants to meet with just me next week. He says my Dr. was wrong for not recommending therapy along with my medication. He said that I seem very depressed to him and that is what is leading to a lot of DH and my conflicts. He thinks that getting to the root my problems might help with our relationship. I am so happy to finally be getting therapy. It felt so good just to talk to someone about our problems that can help us work through them. With no insurance I thought I would never get any therapy because of the cost, but DH’s work is now offering free therapy for employees and their families. This is the best thing ever!

How I did it: I started collecting these when they first came out and it took quite awhile. I just looked through all the change I would get and all of the Quarters in the till at work until I finally found them all. Read how I did it…
We went to our first therapy session today and I think it was great. I felt so much better when we left. We were able to talk about things and have someone to tell us that we are a completely normal couple with the same problems as everyone else. The therapist wants to meet with me by myself next week because he says I still seem to be really depressed and I should have been in therapy since I started taking meds.
Well, I finally found my last quarter last night in the drawer at work. I was so excited.I realized that I had been working on this for 10 years now and am so happy to complete a goal.
