Something positive

[dippy1]

This forum seems to go in phases.
The general tone recently has been rather "down". Partly I suspect do to the time of the year.
I'm going to share my recent experience to balance things out a bit.

The past two weeks have been the best two I've had in years..I finally have seen, and touched, the light at the end of my tunnel.. I feel lighter and happier..my mood has swung to good. I have enjoyed things and am looking forward to things. This, I realise now, was lost months and months before my eventual breakdown. It really feels as though a switch has been clicked somewhere.

In reality it is probably the eventual response to much psychiatric input, my therapy and my meds. and time passing. I opened my mind to it all, read what I could, applied the techniques everyone taught me, their patience endured and I was a slow learner but now I have learnt. This week I feel strong and capable and I dare to hope this will last.

I'm not posting this to rub anyone's face in it.
I just want everyone to realise that blackness doesn't have to be forever.

Keep striving...we're all on similar journies and we all need to focus on the destination as well as the intermediate bits.
I hope this helps folks.

Yes glad you pulled through and best wishes with recovery. I think its great the way all of us have a support system for each other when hard times arrive for us, for any reason.

best of luck. keep well and make sure to stay at the top not just to reach it.

Thank you so much dippy for sharing this.  It is always great to hear that someone is beating the BP back with a big stick and winning.

For me to hear that people are doing well gives me a much needed boost, especially during times when I'm wondering if there is a light at the end of the tunnel.  You and Venora have proved that there is.

Accept these good times for what they are and enjoy them.

Hugs

Im glad to hear that, it is good to see something good coming along and I am so glad to see someone doing well and you should be proud of it - it takes an immense amount of hard work and effort to get to that point !

Thank you for the good news story, its appreciated.

And from where I sit i can also add something positive from my point of view - when I needed help it was there and when I needed positive thoughts the members here were there for me, reading all the positive comments and notes of suppost last night in hospital was a massive boost and the lesson from that is we have a great community here and we should celebrate that as much as possible - we really do need to hear the positive stories as well as the bad ones.
