ive been reading through old posts on here, wow so depressing, someone asked does anyone get better and the response was basically no!! why do people think that well because let me explain what i think, i joined here years ago on the antidepressant threads as i was withdrawing from them (utter hell) and i found everyone so negative that i decided to open my own support group on facebook to help everyone get off a certain medication, im not on that group anymore, my friends now run it for me, why am i not on it? because i got better (i thought i was going to die) over the months i saw many members leave and wondered why so i messaged a few of them and asked, it turns out they had recovered and let me tell you some of these people were in extremely bad shape and are now happy again. the truth is if you go through a horrible time the last thing you want to do is talk about it when youre better, i know from personal experience, maybe not the same experience, but i believe our bodies can do amazing things, also if nobody got better the people posting on page 1 of 303 pages would still be posting, i made sure i told my group i had recovered and even replied to messages to help them through, it was hard as i just wanted to forget about it, but i needed to do it because i know what its like to spend hours and hours searching for success stories and finding none. hopefully one day we will all come back and write our success stories to help others in the future ❤ sorry for the long post but please do not lose hope, be kind to yourself and others, we will get there xx

    thank you for posting this! i was thinking the exact same thing just the other day - I wish people would come back on here and say they've come through it and made it to the other side and things are good now! I would love some words of encouragement, especially on a day like today when my doctor has told me I can have antidepressants or nothing 🙁

    Agreed! Thank you! I wonder that too when people don't come back to threads. I like to think they had a positive outcome and I would love sometimes if they came back and told us. It is so refreshing to hear something positive! Its nice to have comfort in people knowing what you are feeling but also to know there is the other side 😃

    so happy for you that you got there 😃
