Just in case anyone was wondering. I started on here a few months ago . Didn’t like how I first approached everything under the username of Craig1956, so I canceled my account. This was my first group in my life. Missed it greatly so re-upped here as Craigliving4Jane. To honor my only sibling who we lost at 21 years old to a mental illness and suicide.
During my initial days on here I had to make an extremely tough decision to not see my son’s family anymore even though my 3 grandsons are my best friends. I just wasn’t at my best so I bowed out for awhile.
Im doing so very darn well. Can’t believe how my life has changed, even with not seeing my boys. I finally have hope. Those darn ruminations of mistreatment have so greatly subsided. As I’ve posted many times my deep depression and heavy duty anxiety have been 80-90 reduced after my first time going to a hospital in October of 2022. No more suicidal thoughts that have overrun me.
As I said it turns out I was under medicated .
Have hope. Keep trying for answers. Environmental, medications, therapy, whatever it takes. I tried to give up twice and God wouldn’t let me. He doesn’t want any of us to.
I sincerely pray for you all to find the relief we all deserve
Much love
Craig
I am so very glad to be here with you very fine people
"Im doing so very darn well" I love to hear that! I am so happy for you 😎. They got things in shape when you went to the hospital? Before that you hadn't ever gone for your mental health?
Yes but at first only for anxiety in 1995 and well under medicated by physcratrist. Then in 2010 totally fell apart and found out I was bipolar with a severe depression ensuing. 6-7 docs couldn’t find much relief for me until hospital visit
Diagnosed as mildly bipolar but my environment exacerbated it greatly. Had my first bought of depression in 1983 for a year then it went away. Anxiety landed on a jumbo jet in 1995.
None of ever thought about mental illness for so long and when it did make some sense we all made any mistakes. I mean many
Hello Craig, Welcome back. Such a lovely positive post and it seems that since you were here before, you have been very busy getting yourself together. Such a sad story, but gosh. You done good!
Thanks so very much for your encouragement. Yes things are looking up. Still afraid of possible downturns but feel now I have the tools to better get thru them
Welcome back! So glad to hear that God wouldn't let you give up! I have a tendency to over share and so had to delete a previous account. I wish there was a way for this group to meet in person - so many wonderful people - but anonymity does have it's place as well. I wholeheartedly agree that we all deserve relieve. I just wish to wasn't so hard to find!
Boy I hear you there. It’s such a complex world of mental health. I was exhausted trying more than a few times.
Thank you very much for your kind words
Much love
Thank you so much for your kind response. My sister death was especially difficult on my folks. They are still together. 69 years together. Very proud of them
