Hi all,
I know that this is a safe space to speak and one where lived experience and advice is so wisely given.
My mind has been wondering what to do when intensive therapy, life changes, programs etc just all blur into the background and don’t matter anymore because nothing does.
Anybody got some advice on how to keep going?
Thanks,
C

Hi @Former-Member
I was wondering, when you say "intensive therapy", what does that encompass?
I know for me medication saved my life and allows me to function. I have MDD (major depressive disorder) and most of my life up till the last 16 years it's been severe off and on.
Is it depression you're suffering from? I know it's a killer 😢
