My family went through hell
But they still love me.
Antidepressant made me double insane we gave up for 6 years
(8 years total since noticeable onset symptom )
No friendships
Work was a good distraction
Very self destructive but had two mouths to feed so was able to keep it hush hush
Husband saved me and remains loyal to a fault (I think he should run)
Haven't been able to work for 4 years
Bad episode which led to a stare down with gun cabinet for an hour decided it was time to try to get help again.
Now finally diagnosed n on meds n all is well!

No matter how small, a positive change deserves to be celebrated!
