Finally coming out of my depression

Postby pinkfloydfan810 » Sat Feb 08, 2014 5:25 am

Had a lot going on with myself recently. This took too many years... 14 years of depression for it change. I'm starting to see changes in my life that I didn't think I would ever see. I'm slowly coming back to my old self, which won't happen over night but I have high expectations it will over time. My life is slowly piecing itself back together. It felt like hell burying everyone and the very few people left I'd pick up the phone for. Never thinking I'd see the changes in my mental health and physical health I did. Neither will ever be perfect, but are definitely better than they were. I wrote this post in hopes that it would maybe help and give some optimism who are feeling in the pits like I was.

Take care.

Hi Jake,
Enjoy emerging from a 14 year!!! depression.
I hope it continues for you and that you are able to adjust to the new self and make a new life for yourself. For a depression that long, i would want to feel the change for six months or a year before concluding that it was gone. But enjoy every day without depression.

Take care,
It is not always possible to make someone's discomfort go away.
Sometimes, the best thing we can do is resist the urge to fix it and instead just say, "You, too?"

Hi Jake,

I am very happy to hear you are coming out of depression. Glad that your life is sorting itself out. Hope you don't forget us and continue giving us updates -- this time positive ones :) As you said, when we're in a pit of despair it's good to hear that there is a way out -- however long it takes.

Big hugs.
Currently working on my upcoming signature.

I'm very happy to hear this Jake :) It's definitely a long time coming and I hope that it lasts just as long as that nasty depression did.
