I haven't posted on here for a long time. But today I thought I would. It is possible to recover from most setbacks. Recovery takes effort. It takes time. I takes a willingness to admit your problem. You need to give yourself permission to let go of all the stuff that does not serve you well. For me I learned to express my feelings. I learned to observe my environment. I learned that the things that contributed to my depression and anxiety also helped me get well. So If you have stumbled across this blog and wonder if it is possible to get well it is. Take all the help you are offered. Find a good doctor. Find a good counseller. and take advise from people with expertise. you are not in a position to make rational choices or even remotely sane one when you are in an episode. So set yourself up for an excellent recovery and listen to your body and those who care about you. There is no such thins as a hopeless case just a case without hope.
