I feel really good today! I have only been on my new meds for a couple of days now, but I feel beter already. I think, right now, the difference is because I'm finally getting something done! I have been down in a state of deep depression for so long now, and I've finally taken the steps to help myself. Just knowing that makes a big difference.

I actually got up on my own today after only 8 hours of sleep. Something I haven't done in months. I have usually been sleeping for 12-14 hours or more because I just couldn't face the day. I also exercised yesterday and today for the first time in about a month. That helped to. I feel like I'm starting to turn that corner back to being me again.

To anyone out there who is struggling with depression and thinking about getting help, do it. There is hope. I was starting to think that there wasn't, and I knew I couldn't continue the way I was going. I now feel like I can handle things. I'm not 100% yet, not even close, but I'm a far cry closer than I was.

Yes it is great news. It makes one feel good just to know that you are working to try to help your life. I am on meds, but still need a therapist. I know that when I get a therapist, I will even feel better!
Thanks for this!
