Hi all,
I just wanted to stop by and say a big thank you to everybody who offered me support in my time of need.
I stumbled across DF in a google search at a rather low point in my life and the support and understanding of the admin/ members got me through the day for a while there.

Anyway this isn't a sad post it is a post to let everybody there is hope.
I am 4 weeks off my medication and still feeling as good as I did before depression struck me.
I have made a major lifestyle change and left my job, but the progress I have made it was a decision worth it.
I went from highly suicidal and almost being admitted and manically booking $600 tattoos to "make me happy" to fully functioning in what felt like forever ( 6 months). I still have the occasional bad day where the anxiety of the uncontrollable gets to me, but that's a vast improvement.

Moral of my story, there are people who care, especially here at DF, doctors and psychologists than can help, we don't have to live our lives suffering. Sending healthy happy vibes to everybody. Xoxox
