Has anyone done it? After all the ideation and preparation. Let alone the methods and survival instincts, i wanna stay but i don't wanna suffer I want a good life (who doesn't right?) like is it possible?
Funny I was thinking about this earlier.Has anyone done it? After all the ideation and preparation. Let alone the methods and survival instincts, i wanna stay but i don't wanna suffer I want a good life (who doesn't right?) like is it possible?
Recovery, I think it's about learning, evolving and becoming a better, different version of yourself. I don't view it like I'll be back to who I was before 100%. You'll never be the same person you were before, just like with any experience in life, particularly traumas and suffering. All suffering is also an opportunity. An opportunity to make the choice to use the lessons you've learned and experienced to inform your character for the better, to become stronger, more resilient, more compassionate etc.
Very true. Literally everyone I've talked to IRL who has gone through a deep depression talks about "before the depression" and "after the depression" as if it was B.C. and A.D. It's an irreversibly life-changing experience. It's my impression that those who manage to get out on the other side usually, but not always, are more humble and compassionate than they were before. It may sound conceited, but I believe that I've become a better human being since I fell ill. I don't want to cause other people pain unless it's absolutely necessary, because I know what true pain is now.
Depends what you mean "recovered." Depression has lasting effects on how you cognitively "react" to images, and other stimuli. However, ideation can definitely be beaten. Many people have reported living fulfilling lives from different treatments. Nothing is guaranteed, but it's definitely possible. It's a life-long struggle, but if done well, a person can live a happy and fulfilling life. The root cause must be handled with, though. There will be lasting remnants for almost all mental disorders/illnesses.Has anyone done it? After all the ideation and preparation.

yes exactly! interesting that this seems to be a universal thing. For me it is a qualitative change that has taken place over a few days (when I had my breakdown) and life hasn't been the same since. Really interesting that you mention thisVery true.
