I went through some incredibly difficult times for about a decade (and I may have inadvertently imposed on others here, in times of personal distress), but this place saved me. I learned things about myself, about how to cope, that I would otherwise not have learned. Whereas I had been 100% disabled, surviving on the pittance the government throws you to keep you barely alive, I've re-invented myself, and I'm doing well in a professional environment. I owe a debt of gratitude to Psychobabble, and especially its members, for that opportunity.

Larry,

I just wanted to say that I find what you wrote here to be inspiring and admirable. Not only do I think that your story gives hope to others who might currently be struggling with a mental health condition or some other problem that's difficult to manage (and I still consider myself among those who are struggling, even though my level of well being is sometimes acceptable), but I also admire your expression of gratitude for the help and support that you've received that's helped you to get to the point that you're at today. Perhaps you might look at yourself as being a "graduate" of the forums here on Psycho-Babble, but even though I don't think I've interacted with you much if at all up to this point, I'm glad that you're here to share your story (and your expertise) with those of us who might see ourselves as being in the beginning stages of reinventing ourselves.
