❤💖

Awesome, wish you all the best and i hope im on the right path to make such a thread someday!
Cheers!

Congrats dude, it's a long journey that doesn't have a definitive end but is so worthwhile and rewarding.

Climbed out of my own personal hell over the last couple of years and am supporting my wife with her own battle.

Proud of you and congrats on the family ❤ 🤙🏻

Congrats mate! That is excellent news. :)

It's always nice to hear that someone's been able to get rid of this curse, congrats :)

I've answered "potato" because in my case it's chronic, but right now the pills are helping, I haven't had an episode since 2022. So yeah, I'm currently not depressed and even able to work and enjoy stuff like gaming, but this shit is still there.

Hey man, that's really great to hear. Glad that life is back to happiness with the wife and kid; and just being able to be yourself :)

Glad to hear you've managed to turn a corner, it's on e of the hardest things to do and the black dog is never far away, I wish you all the best for the future and happy days ahead!

Heartfelt congratulations to you! <3 And GRIS seems a fitting choice for the event, from what I’ve heard about the game.

that's really good news! best wishes for you and your family! :)

Sounds great, congratulations for making it out of that hole. Stay afloat on that fluffy cloud.

Congrats

Uplifting news. Keep it up.

Gratz!

gg, good luck in your new chapter!

Congrats. Dealing with that is never easy and will take time. Wish some people understood it sometimes. As such, I am very proud you've gotten this far!
And even if one day you'll feel like you're feeling like its coming back, remember that stuff like that is normal and you shouldnt overthink it. Some days will be like that but im sure in general its upwards trend.

Hope you, everyone and/or anyone struggling, are having a good day

Pardon my language, but fuck yeah dude.
Depression and all the stuff that is co-morbid with it is a hell of a thing to get saddled with, but having survived, endured, and now up to the 'thrive' step? Congratulations. Seriously, it's no small feat.

Though, please do not take this as a dampener to your mood, but be careful if you have a relapse or regress or... whatever the most fitting term is. Depending on the origin of your depression, it can rear its ugly head again, but with the positive changes you've made to your life and undoubtedly the more robust (and less destructive) coping and processing mechanisms you have, if you are unlucky enough to go through it again, it will be an entirely different ride. One of the things about a relapse that hits some people is "Oh god I'm never going to be free of this!", but it is more accurate to say "I've kicked its ass again, and I'm better armed and have the power of hindsight on my side".

But here's hoping that it's just an ugly memory and a source of strength going forwards.
Now you have a family, you have some keen insight into the complexities of the mental / emotional stuff that can come out of nowhere. Should your kid ever struggle, they've got someone with experience helping fight their corner.

But seriously, congrats. Here's to your happiness, to the better days, and to those who are still fighting their way through it!

congrats!

Wish you all the best for you and your little family :)

Congrats on getting out of that hole, getting married and a kid to boot!👏🏼

Shit happens to us all, all that matters it to get up of the floor and keep going. Keep at it and be happy :)

Congratulations, great job!!! 😊

Congratulations!

Congratulations! I'm going through the recovery process right now, so it's nice and inspiring to see someone else beat it! I hope many more nice things come your way!

Congrats!
