I just had to share this with everyone out there I logged on tonight to read my post that I posted back in February it bought tears to my eyes as this is not the life that I live at all now I live a happy amazing life with a partner who smiles every day and is my support person my how the tables have turned and this is all due to him going to the doctors and finally admitting he has a problem and starting on anti depressants I never thought they would work but honestly for him they are miracle pills or what he likes to call "happy pills" he said to me while we were driving yesterday wow I can't believe how I used to feel every day it was like I was always wearing sunglasses and everything was dark and gloomy and now it's like I've taken my sunglasses off and I can see clear now and everything is bright and just clearer.

since he started on the anti depressants in April he has been so amazing happy caring loving supportive and back to the old person I fell in love with he has not had one relapse and no side effects apart from being happy all the time....the reason I am sharing this with you all is because even though it is so so hard and you may be at your wits end hang in there, there is definately hope. I am so greatful for all the support I received on the forum and I feel for anyone going througb what we went through and I hope somehow one day you can take your sunglasses off and be happy again. Stay positive and don't give up.

Hi Postivevibes, that's great to hear, and I'm so glad you came back to let us know how things have changed. I'm going to include a link to your older thread below so other members can see how far you've come - often on the forums we only get to hear from people at the start of their journey so it's great to hear a story of recovery.

I hope you can stay around and provide some support to other carers in the forum, there's a lot of people still back at the first stage:

My amazing partner has depression and I am at my wits end
