This is such a wonderful success story! I always push that a good doctor or doctors will make all of the difference. Did you see a therapist or did you get to feeling better with just the meds? I"ve never been to therapy but once.
I agree with you, the diagnosis is somewhat of a sign of relief. You can all of a sudden say to yourself, "so this is why I do this and wow I really did need some help". For me, the diagnosis was the event that got the ball rolling and it was all thanks to a great counselor to saw that I needed to get some help.
I hope you continue to feel better and take care of youself. Thanks for sharing this story.
