Thank You! My Depression and Sucidality Has Lifted.

Posted by dfb @dfb, Jun 17 2:58pm

I have received tremendous support from this community; I want to share some good news for a change.

I realized that it had been five days since I'd been depressed or suicidal. I have wanted to end my life for fifty-four years. It feels like I have never lived without suicidal depression. I think that's why I didn't know it was gone.

I don't know if I am out of the woods yet, but I now know what it feels like to be alive.

Thank you to everyone who has read my post and provided me with so much support. I've shared so much pain, so I thought I'd share some joy!

I wish that everyone lives in peace and good health!

@dfb This has really made my day so much brighter, to read your words of discovery!

Thank you for sharing this. And thank you for persevering. While you mention all the support we have offered to you, in the end, there is also all the work you yourself have done. Don't forget to applaud yourself, too!

What way will you celebrate today? A favorite coffee drink? An ice cream cone?
