Stay hopeful.Many of us do recover if we have the capacity to be honest.Without medication,my world becomes bleak and terrible.I feel hopeless and want to die.By the grace of a Power Greater than myself,and a program of recovery,I haven't felt like that in years.The biggest challenge now is remembering that just because I feel better,that doesn't mean I don't need medication.I have a good doctor who understands my needs,and with whom I am rigorously honest.I lead a very normal life now,steadily employed,a good parent,and most important...still recovering.

What you are going through is very difficult.Please remember these two things.

1.It is not your fault.You didn't cause the illness.
2.Take care of yourself first,otherwise you can't help anyone else.
