The good things. I learnt who I could trust. I made two new very good friends. I have learnt a lot about myself & continue to do so. I recognise the signs of a dip & can sometimes reach out for help & stop the dip turning into a hole. I found this forum & the people here have saved me when I felt I had nowhere to turn.

The not so good things. My marriage has suffered & I doubt is repairable. My work has suffered. I feel I've lost myself somewhere along the way. I can't stop my head going over & over everything. I feel I live on a see saw.

Thank you for this thread. Had I been asked this & not thought about it I wouldn't have thought it possible for good to have come from the darkness. But they have & there lies hope.
