Hi everyone, I know I'm new on here, but I just wanted to share that for the first time in 8 months I feel light. It has felt like I've been carrying this heavy load that has been threatening to crush me day by day. I've managed to hold on but only just.

My doctor has increased my meds and I think this might be what it feels like when it's working. I still feel fragile ready to cry with the slightest provocation. But for the first time in a long time I feel 'ok'.

I wanted to share this today, because if this can happen (even for just one day) it makes it worth it...living this life, the holding on the struggling , the tears...THERE IS HOPE

Wow, Glass, eight months... that's an incredibly long time. I'm so proud of you it's especially amazing to hear stories like this, especially after hearing such terrible stories all the time, like the actor Robin Williams who suffered from depression all his life, and after many years of battling it, decided to take his life. But stories like yours, Glass, really brings hope. Thanks
