Life turns on a dime. After suffering immensely for years and years with depression and anxiety, trying a whole slew of meds, being told my D & A were treatment resistant, then trying TMS, Acupuncture, Hypnotherapy, and other "non-traditional" treatments. I had sort of a sudden and unexpected re-awakening. Or, maybe it was just an awakening.

I have a whole metaphor about fire that ties in. But, the "moral of the story" is that, one day, for no apparent reason, I woke up and realized I kind of "felt better." I figured it was a fluke. The next day, same thing - woke up feeling "better." Rinse and repeat.

So far, I'm still out of the D & A mode - months later - and I have nothing specific to point at and say, "that is what made me feel better." It was just a new day. I struggled through each day, for years, and then, it was like a whole new life started for me.

So, keep hope alive, and just know that "feeling better" is a thing. It's not predictable, but it can and does happen! Best to you!

PS - I'm doing a blog about D & A if you're interested. https://imaginativefusion.wixsite.com/mysite/blog
