When I finally got on the right meds for long enough I finally started functioning what I call "normally". I mostly feel confident, satisfied, and make plans of things to which I can look forward. I can easily slip back into feeling discouraged, given the right triggers, but overall my life is good. I did do a long stint of joint thereapy with hubby before getting to this point as well.

Hope you'll reach a point where this is true for you, too. It's definitely worth it.
