Just want to share with some people who might just understand how big this is and give me the right amount of excitement because I am not getting the right reaction from those close to me as I don't think they quite get it and I don't blame them. My doctor says I am at the point where I can tackle my depression and anxiety without medication and I am medication free after many years of fighting just to be happy, 1 nervous break down, self harming and being suicidal I can officially say that I am winning the fight and can cope on my own. It feels unbelievably good to achieve that when even only 2 years ago I never could have imagined it. I just keep thinking and realising what I have gotten through and not being able to believe I actually did it. It has been a very very long time. I have suffered from depression and anxiety since I was 13, I have been medicated since I was 22 and I am 30 now and finally feeling like I am in a healthy enough mind set that I can put a lot of my major issues behind me.
Well done well done well done well done well done well done!!!!
That is huge. Congratulations Meg. That must have taken real strength and determination and lots of hard work. And thank you for sharing - this gives hope to all who are experiencing a similar journey.
dear Meg, fantastic, it is a battle to get where you are now, so why don't you print your letter, laminate it and stick it on a wall to see, maybe the loo, but this depends on whether you want other people to read, but it might be good for them to do so. L Geoff. x
