I just wanted to post and say thank you to Hitched, as well as my branched off friends on Facebook and HPAD.
It's the anniversary of my 'breakdown' this week, I can't quite believe a whole year has passed. I don't think I would have come through it as well as I have (I won't be dramatic and say I wouldn't have got through it at all) without my friends from Hitched. I felt I owed you an update and a thank you.
I posted one particularly dark night with tablets in my hand, ready to take them but talking it through on here that night helped immensely. Who would think a website could do so much? I have come a long way since that night and although I'm not 'better', I'm getting there. I'll admit to particularly struggling this week but as my therapist (who I'm finally seeing courtesy of the NHS) says I'm happier, stronger and better than I was then so an anniversary can't hurt me.
I really do appreciate all the friends I have made here and I count many of you as my friends, even if we haven't met in real life. Having a community of people to laugh with, cry with, share with and just generally be with is amazing. So thank you all.
