It will get better LaVana. It really will. I know it has been a long time in coming but it will improve. Keep track of how many "good" hours a day you have and in a couple weeks you will see that that number is slowly but surely improving. That will give you reassurance and hope my friend.

Hi LV...

 

So sorry to hear of your ongoing fight. It is SO tough and it really messes with our brains so much.

 

I remember wishing it would just stay low because I would haven't to deal with the good days turning bad. Might sound crazy but in the end I just had to accept it. 

 

What Hat says is something I also did. I made graphs as well!! But I could at least see what was happening.

 

But my therapist told me that I should "rate" my mood every hour, which is what I was doing, as it kept my focus on "how do I feel now/? How about now?!", and you get fixed on it, so it went to morning, afternoon, evening and night and a section for notes.

 

Again, I am so sorry you are going through all this - still thinking of you,

I tell you - life can sure suck sometimes and it really makes you wonder why it happens to you. It can be so difficult to see how you are going to get through it.

 

Yesterday a client asked for his computer drive which had a load of really important recovered file - and I have been turning my flat upside down - I can't find it anywhere. I don't know what to do. Then today I was repairing a 2020 MacBook and I closed the lid having left a small screw on the keyboard - screen totally broke and now I have to find about £250 for a new screen!! Everything is going wrong! 

 

But I understand that you are seriously taken in by all this withdrawal stuff and we have seen so many over the year. There is one member I am trying to remember who had similar situations to you and she was convinced that she would never be well again, but after a few months of absence from the forum, she came back and told us that she was feeling so much better. I will try to find the thread as it may really help you.

 

Thinking of you my dear LV...

I have found it...It is a pretty long and detailed read but this member went through more than 2 years of so many issues, but she has made it.

You are equally as strong as Lyla and one day, hopefully sooner rather than later, the same will happen for you. She has recently come back with things turned around for her. I just thought that this might help as when you feel so low, it really helps to read of others in a similar situation. I am not saying that it is likely to take as long as Lyla's recovery as it was very complex.

 

There are so many stories on here with successful endings - Hat's and mine included. 

 

We have both hit rock bottom never to think we would get out the other side, but somehow it finds a way.

 

Stay strong dear LV - I will always be here for you...
