Who knows? @creative_writer . And it's not like you can wake up one day and your MH is totally fine...
I think sometimes we don't see the subtle changes until we look back and have something to compare it to. That's how I've certainly felt.
I remember years of low, low, and very low.... it didn't seem like there was any break from the low... but looking back, I can see there were 'breaks'.
I really hope one day things even out and you can get to a stable functioning self.
I hear it is so up and down right now, and that's why we want to be here for you.
Also, remember that when you come to the forums, often, people are posting in distress. Don't see this as people don't recover, because there are plenty who have done so well after being on the forums that they no longer feel they need that extra padding of support from the forums.
It depends of what you want to achieve from the forums.
I can sort of see this happening for you. As you move on in life e.g. finish your studies, work, get married, have children or whatever, gradually, you'll find you have less time for the forums. I honestly have great hopes for you. I can see your values and your empathetic nature. You have so much to give and such a heart to help others.
It is hard now, but it won't be hard forever.
Hugs, tyme
