Hocamızdan o kadar çok memnun kaldım ki, Allah ondan bin kere razı olsun. Kendimi hiç iyi hissetmediğim bir dönemde danıştım kendisine. Hiçbir şeyden zevk alamıyor, bir türlü huzur bulamıyordum. Bir anda böyle hissetmeye başlayınca kendisine danıştım ve Ocak ayından bu yana görüşüyorum. 3 ayda 1 kontrollerim devam ediyor. Allah razı olsun gerçekten destekleri bana çok iyi geldi. Memnun kaldığım için arkadaşlarımı da gönderiyorum, onlar da aynı benim gibi memnun kalıyor.
Firdevs Hanım'la 6 ayı aşkın bir süredir görüşmeye devam ediyorum. Keşke daha önce tanısaydım dediğim bir doktor kendisi, gerçekten çok ama çok memnunum. Gayet güleryüzlü ve gerçekçi biri. Destekleri sayesinde hayatımda değişimlerim de oldu. Resmen hayata yeniden tutunmamı sağladı diyebilirim. Ayrı olarak özellikle kadın psikolojisinden çok iyi anlayan, bu konuda çok çok iyi olduğunu düşündüğüm bir doktor kendisi.
