Title: So far.....
Post by: mat on February 24, 2013, 04:30:54 PM
Its been a while since I have been on here and posted, I am stunned by reading some of the things I have been saying because my life has completely transformed in a space of a few months,  I thought I would come on and share and hopefully give other people hope that depression is not always going to be a constant in your life and that you can be happy.

I am not taking any medication what so ever since Jan 1st and I feel fantastic, I have had terrible problems with work not knowing if I would be left with a decent career and thankfully that has worked out, and now I have found a fantastic beautiful woman who we have both fallen in love with and are talking about having a child and our future together, we just seem made for each other, she knows everything about me and I know everything about her, and I love her to death, as I always say to her  now I know what it is to be genuinely happy.

Just last year i attempted to end my life and look at what has happened since then it has been nothing short of a miracle,  I was really bad last year and did not see any future for myself and now i look at myself and think  how lucky I am to be here and to be with a sensational woman, im just so happy all the time, non stop smiling and some times in tears at how happy I am.

trust me when i say this  if I can find happiness im sure others who are battling the same problems as I was can find happiness as well.

That's really good to hear, Mat.  I remember some of the dark places you were in and the transformation is encouraging.  I'm pleased you have also found love.

It's true, when we're in the grip of depression, any improvement is beyond imagination.  Sometimes, for me, it's about having faith that things will get better
