Hi jmb

Yes imo people can get better with the right combination of meds, good counselling and a good strong support network. You have to be willing to put in the work though and be open to suggestions.

As regards your sister's shower...i know this is hard advice to follow but try not to worry about it coz the more you worry the more likely things are to go wrong.

And i know somebody else will come in with better advice for you so don't worry that this advice isn't much.

Take care and hang in there.
