This is the kind of thread where we all should come together. I was carrying this with me for many years before I was diagnosed. I have a military background as well as rescue service which can be pretty testing on the soul.
I see medication as a prison that I must accept and can't shake. Therapy is a must for anyone in this thread if you want to try and go that little bit further in copeing.
I feel for me one of the first steps was realising I was not alone, with ptsd as well as anxiety. Its important to read and see other peoples experiences. I find it helps us to start to internally look at our own in a different way, or even be able to look at it for some cases.
I feel I got dealt a bad hand with some things, then I have to remember I made choices so I have to accept some responsibility. I prefer to blame it all on nature, but then I ask myself am I doing myself service?.
I am curious has anyone made more than an 80% recovery? or even close. I feel the need to gain inside information into this ( not just what I am told by medical professionals who don't have the condition )
