It's a long road but you're getting there Drew.
77 and counting, less of the "Old" call me "Mike"
It takes a while but every day you are getting there. You didn't get sick overnight and unfortunately you don't get better overnight either. But I love your positive for the day. Have you looked at our Fab 5 Friday thread.
Hi Drew...you don't see it yourself because the fog of depression clouds things, but you're doing the right things. Every night when you go to bed, you've survived the day and that in itself is a step towards recovery. Just take it a day at a time and you'll get there. Planning things to do in the future too are signs that positive things are going on. Sometimes you take one step forward and two steps back, but the good news is that you will get better. It's lovely that you feel you can open up to us. We've all been there. You're honest and upfront. It's lovely to read your thread.

Thanks to everyone for the supportive messages, they are a great help and as such I’ll make them my positive thought for the day.
That's a pretty awesome positive! It's good to see you posting regularly - it'll be a good record for you too.

A visit to my solicitors this morning followed by a drive before it got too warm. Mixed feelings but at least I’m dealing with the present and future rather than the past.
Things don’t need to make you beam to be positive - well done for recognising that
The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
Well done for dealing with things. That's really important and really tough. You've done well.

Unexpectedly I laughed for the first time for several weeks - not much of a laugh but it came with a smile too. For me that’s a huge positive for the day.
