Lexy, I know what you mean about becoming a better person, but the setbacks are a @#?!.

I had a major breakdown in 1975 (I was 26yrs old and a single mother with 3 children ages 4, 5 and 6yrs). It took me years to recover from that exerience, and I did things during that time that I never thought I was capable of doing. Since then I honestly believe that anyone is capable of doing anything, given the right circumstances.

But, like you, I can say that I have become much more tolerant and understanding of others because of it, and I would not go back and become my former self for anything. I really feel like I went through some kind of metamorphosis(sp?).

I thought I was doing pretty well without meds, then last summer my husband of 17yrs decided to go through his mid-life crisis, and he left me for another (younger) woman. It has been a very difficult time for me, but I am looking forward to discovering a newer, stronger version of me.

The support I have found on this board has been unbelievable. Thanks for the post. ...jlynne

P.S. I am in the social services field; I work with the elderly. Sometimes they help me more than I help them!
