Hi everyone,
So the last time I was a regular visitor to these forums, I'd gone through some pretty serious anxiety, made a strong recovery, then fallen down again. It's almost three years ago since my recovery faltered and I had to do it all again. I convinced myself I was heading for an MS diagnosis and ended up having a tests and regular doctor visits. Obviously I didn't have it, but there you go.
Anyway, I got more therapy and got back on the sertraline and, same as the first time, once the meds really kicked in, I climbed out of it very quickly. In the last two-and-a-bit years, I've moved back to Northern Ireland, got my old job back, rented a place and just generally put my laugh back on track. I've been learning a new language, had some great overseas trips (on my own, as it happens), and generally left all of that misery behind me. I began a taper off the sertraline again about a year ago, which the doctor wasn't sure about, but I knew inside was the right thing to do. I want to function through my own inner strength and self-belief, and I will. I am doing.
So yeah, things are going well. Work has been precarious for all manner of reason, but I still have my job and I got my finances sorted out after ending up in debt while ill. All I need now is someone to share life with, which is turns out is the hardest thing of all to find!
Hope everyone is doing their best and staying positive.
