No, you aren't meant to stay broken although it certainly feels that way at times. Here's your pep talk. Look at how far you have come. You are so much stronger, more stable and willing to come here and ask for help. We know you and many of us understand what you're going through. But there truly is light at the end of the tunnel. The problem is you don't know where you are in that tunnel. While there are ups and downs always, steps forward and back, you are progressing. I can see it in how you write and your willingness to open up.
Medications are so tough. You know you need them, but sometimes, so many times, they don't help or make it worse. It's easy for me to urge you to keep trying, you'll find something, but the truth is you'll know when the meds are working and, unfortunately, when they're not and that's so hard to bear.
Focus on how far you've come. Be proud of your growth because it's there, I see it and I'm sure others do.
Please take care and keep posting if it helps. Isolation is the worst, or at least it is for me.
I'm sending you lots of support, hope and compassion. Lean on us. You don't have to go it alone.
