recovery from depression

Mental health

hi guys i just wanted to post this as i know alot of people are feeling hopeless and stuck which is what i was for 10 years.

since a very young age i have dealt with suicidal depression, eating disorders, self harm and severe anxiety.

i felt ashamed, alone and isolated and i thought on many occasions there was no point in living. i finally decided on seeking help a few months ago i can honestly say i have felt a great improvement, this is now my 4th day in a row without an anxiety attack or a suicidal thought, which may seem like small achievement but it is a huge leap for me. i have realised that there is a reason to keep going and keep breathing and i finally have hope for the future.

this may be early days and i am by no means 100% better, but i truly feel i am get my life back rather than just exsisting.

i know its a scary road and the thought of medication and therapy is daunting but a little bit of motivation and inspiration can go a long way.

there is always hope and there is always help.

and i for one can always lend a helping hand.

i hope everyone on here get reach their goals in recovery and find peace.

Thanks for sharing Alice. One of the many ways to improve recovery is by reading others thoughts and experience.

I’m not an expert when it comes in advising someone who need it most but for some reason I can relate to you. ^^
