I joined in 2014 and I was probably going through one of the roughest periods of my life, but from my first post, I was welcomed with open arms. The people on the forum kept me going with gentle words of encouragement and unending support, I can honestly say that I don't know where I would be without them. It was their encouragement that kept me fighting, and in 2018, I finally got to see a mental health professional who was willing to help me. They've offered support through countless med changes and changes in my life, telling me what needed to be said even if I wasn't willing to listen, and even though they don't always understand, they try to. They'll listen and support without question. DWD has been a big part of my journey, and though things are a lot better now, they're not perfect and it helps knowing that I will always have these warm, caring and empathetic people in my corner.
