I asked this question a few weeks ago myself. "Does it ever really go away?" I, too, was hoping for some positive responses. I guess I try to remind myself that this is a chemical imbalance. That way, I can, sort of, accept it as a part of who I am. The 1st time it came back after I thought I'd conquered it was hard. Every time after that has been a little harder because I feel more hopeless. I'm trying to change that, though. I really am trying to look at this from a "disease" perspective. I'll always deal with it, but I don't always have to let it control me. I'm so glad you all are out there in cyber world to talk to! It makes this disorder a lot easier to deal with.
