Hello,
I'm sure this has been asked before but I thought I'd run it by everyone again. I've been here for a year or more and the impression you get is that no one really gets "well". People get "well" temporarily or improve their condition to the point that you would call them "better", but not "well". I'm speaking of us treatment resistent folks who have a mixture of depression (usually atypical) and anxiety (maybe GAD or SP) and possibly ADD. Also, not everyone would call these people bipolar, but you wouldn't *not* call them bipolar either. I'm sure you know the profile I'm talking about. Anyway, is there anyone around that actually did it? Or do you know of anyone who used to post here who beat this horrid beast? My sense is that I need to get to the point where things are consistantly "better" and then get more involved in therapy and in life in order to get truly "well". This post is aimed at anyone out there who got "well". First of all, you're my hero :) Secondly, how did you do it? If there is anything anyone (newbie or old-timer) can offer please share. I'm making important decisions about future treatments and this type of info could be very helpful.
Thank You,
Jonp.s. I wasn't sure what board to post to, sorry... :(
