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![]()
