I enjoyed your message today. It will undoubtedly give hope to a lot of
people who are at the various stages you've been and who are wondering if
recovery is ever possible. Your best revenge for the "professional"
diagnoses you were given could very well be the encouragement and hope that
you give others with TM who are under the same type of "professional" care
you had. Your experience and determined attitude is a valuable addition to
the TMIC. Welcome to the list!
