Thank you for that thoughtful addition to your post! I had a journey somewhat similar to yours, which is why I had a slight reservation to that one statement. I agree wholeheartedly that one must make the decision, start the journey, and take the steps, and the road can be long and hard but well worth it.
I think one of the most debilitating aspects of depression is that you feel alone. It's wonderful that you are a success story, and that you are out sharing what you went through to get back to mental health. Kudos! Hopefully your work can help more people feel less alone in their suffering, and more hopeful that change is possible.
Yeah, that feeling of being all alone in the world is scary familiar. You are surrounded by people, people who love you and want to take care of you and still you feel like you are alone and nobody knows what you are going through. I am so happy that feeling is gone! :) And I am happy that you are on the good side of the street after your journey 💚💚💚
