An update from the greener side of the fence

Hey y'all.

I haven't posted here in so long. I signed up for this forum when I was just. so. low. I didn't know what to do and I didn't have anyone to hold the string of my balloon. At the time, a lot of my issues weren't correctly diagnosed, I hadn't made it to a shrink yet. It was rough.

I honestly don't know what kind of magical combination finally got me free of that place. Not that I'm completely free. I've been struggling for so long with my brain chemistry that I no longer make any claims to know what works. I just wanted to let you reading this know that sometimes magic happens and you're not climbing the walls anymore.

I am good now. I'm healthy. Nothing is perfect, but I'm not spending every day thinking intrusive thoughts from sunup to sundown. I'm in a quite healthy situation. I am not struggling every day. I just couldn't see this happening when I joined this forum. Maybe you can't either. But...it can happen, ok?

I won't leave this forum or turn off all my notifications. I'm not ready to forget that place or lose the one thing (besides my cat lol) that held down my balloon.

It's okay to lose hope, but try not to lose it forever.

lollerskates....I love your positive post. It has been a long time since we've heard

from you. I'm glad you were using that time with in on yourself and getting

to a comfortable place in your mind. It's an amazing feeling isn't it? Sometimes just

knowing we aren't alone can be the motivation that starts us going forward.

Thank you for sharing your journey in the last 2 years. I always believed in you and

when you learned to believe in yourself, Life Happened :) xx
