Hey Corvus, thanks for sharing, a lot of this really resonated with me. You mentioned a bit about how you feel now (not as lost, feeling better, etc). I'm wondering, if you don't mind, if you could expand on that. I think living with mental health issues for a long time can make it feel like this crazy state of mind is 'normal' or that it is the only possible state of mind/feeling. I'm struggling to understand how we know when the worst is over/what getting better feels like. For anyone reading, how do you know when you are 'better'? Do mental health issues still chase you down? What does the light at the end of the tunnel look/feel like? And I don't even know if I have anxiety/depression, but I relate a ton when others talk about their experiences. I know people shouldn't self diagnose, but is it okay to just check if what I'm feeling/thinking is 'better' or 'worse' on the spectrum? ... I'm getting incoherent, maybe someone can pick it up from here...
