Hi
I agree with all of the above posts. I do believe it gets easier as we get older, it has for me anyway. I am 47 now, and med free. I am still me, but I can handle that. Over last 3 years I just seem to have got a handle on who I am, and accepted it.
YES, yes and yes, it is worth going on. You have a family, and you need to be there for them as you don't know what life will through their way yet. They love you.
My mother tood an overdose when I was pregnant with my 3rd child. She was saved, just, and after she told me that she had nothing to live for. That froze me to the bone. Was I, and my children nothing?
No matter how bad things may at times appear, you must alwys remember how much you are needed.
Good luck and I hope you find the strength and support you need here.
