For the last 24 years I have had bouts of depression and anxiety. The last few years have been particularly bad with one episode after another. I have had countless different drugs and treatments and several admissions to hospital.
Now I am on another drug and holding out hope that this will help lift me out of the black hole I have been in for many weeks. I am so looking forward to a brighter future one in which I can smile and laugh. One in which I can cope with everyday tasks without being paralysed by anxiety. One in which I can appreciate the everyday moments without being overwhelmed.
Now with this new drug I have a glimmer of hope that my life will return to normal and the dark days will be left behind. I hope this one works.
