Thanks for sharing @grozza 🌟 Sounds like you've been through a whole lot of intense experiences and been up against some pretty big challenges. And you've survived to see the light on the other side. That must have taken an immense amount of courage and strength (plus the support from the compassionate people around you). So awesome to hear.

Hi @grozza
That really is amazing. You have been through so much and are still standing. It’s a testament to how strong you are. Thank you for the reminder that it does in fact get better. Sometimes it’s so hard to imagine a different future in the depths of mental illness.
