Not quite home straight but near enough

[Paula]

I've suffered depression all my life, including anxiety and panic attacks. It's genetic, clinical depression and I will never be fully well, never discharged from my psych team and never free of heavy medication. I can't work, and never will now. Yet, over the past 18 months, I have had major life changes, including permanent physical disability. I've had my wobbles, sure, and it's been tough, but this is the longest I've gone, since I was 16, without a major breakdown. And that, to me, is a massive win :)

Massive win and total respect to you. You have done this, all we've done is waved pompoms for you along the way.. You, my lovely are AWESOME.

What Suzi says! And long may it last Paula!
