I haven't actually took time to look at how much I have improved and wow I have come such a long way. I still have a long way to go but I am quite proud. I thought I wasn't going to make it to be honest and with this site asking and reading others problem really did make a big difference.

Especially this time last year I hit rock bottom to a point where I was severely depressed and I hadn't really suffered from depression before. I had given up on myself and life and I was ready to quit. I was never going to you do anything but it was like I had completely stopped living. I ended on very high doses of medication that at first screwed me up even more than I was. I can say now that it was the best decision I am now on a much lower dose and few like they are working for me.

I then over the year got into situations that really showed me that I had zero self-worth, self believe and no confidence what so ever. My life before hand had left me so weak and vulnerable that I took anything and anyone because I didn't know how special I was. I got into bad situations but now am glad I went through because now I stand that bit taller and appreciate my talents that little bit more, I now see my self-worth. The biggest part is my how much I believe in myself now. The best part is when people tell me how much of a different person I am. I have never been happier.

I still get panic attacks a lot, I still have some big emotional break downs, my anxiety stills hits me pretty hard and I do sometimes get in deep depression but its a lot less than before and for me that's good enough but yes I would like to keep improving tho :giggle:

Anyway I don't use this site as much but still check in :) so just wanted to say good luck to you guys and really wish you the best and also thank you. Even if I have never spoken to you but your threads probably helped me and to those who answered my questions in moments I had no one to turn to and those I spoke to privately and have made some close friendships to as well. So yeah thank you :bigsmile:

^Me too. I was one of those with gaze issues. I've just about got it sorted out now although I will probably continue daily exposure practice for the rest of my life.
Thanks everybody.

That's great to hear you're doing so well. I know how hard the battle can be sometimes so you should be seriously proud to have gotten yourself to this better place you're in now.

I'd also like to thank this site too. I've been visiting SPW since 2004 and it really does have a special place in my heart. My social problems are the most deeply rooted, shameful and vulnerable part of who I am and I feel so thankful that there is at least one place in the world I can go where my problems are not only understood but shared. So thank you SPW, and thanks to all the mods who's hard work so often goes unnoticed, and thanks to everyone who posts on the site. There's a really sweet spirit in this place and you guys make it that way.
