Hi Will, I’m something of a lurker here. I have moderate depression and OCD and I dip into the forum from time to time whenever I feel down and want to get comfort in the knowledge there are others with their own struggles too. I often read the Daily Ups and Downs thread in particular.

I just wanted to say that I’ve enjoyed reading your posts detailing your ups and downs over the last couple of years and I hope you will continue to post. I want you to know that your messages here are not wasted, just like the messages of everyone else who contributes to this forum. Even though I don’t feel like posting much myself, by reading the messages here I can relate to other people’s struggles and I feel like I’m not alone with this condition.

Keep your chin up, and hope to keep seeing you here. Please know that your contributions are valued.
