I feel great and have for most of my 29 years with anxiety (GAD) and depression (major depression and now bipolar II) PTSD and a little OCD. My meds have helped me tremendously and so has my counseling. I've been through h*ll when I 1st got anxious and depressed and had some really rough patches when my meds needed adjusting, but mostly I've been extremely high functioning. I had to quit 2 different jobs when I had meltdowns with extreme anxiety came on all of a sudden and I knew it would take months to recover. But months out of 29 years isn't much. Nobody has to know I've got the problems I just told you about unless I want them to.

YES! There is hope! But you have to fight for yourself, take your meds as directed, ask questions, go to your counselor, do what you know you need to do to get better. Is there anything more I can help you with? I don't mind just listening if that's what you need. I know you must be absolutely miserable right now. I haven't forgotten how bad it gets.

It totally can be cured! Tons of real stories show that people go through it for a time and then they go back to their lives. They probably stopped posting here though because they're out living their lives.

That's a really good point! I didn't post my success here until recently. I was too busy living my life. I had obligations and work and children to raise, a husband to take care of and so on. Now that I have more time, I can come here and pay back the help that was given to me. I don't know for how long that I'll be able to make the time to do so, but for now I can, so I'll do my best. But it's so true that life closes in on you and you become so busy living it it's hard to make time to haunt the internet highways and byways when your family is counting on you for support or sustenance.
