It would be profitable for you to make contact with a therapist who can help you through this initial time. It's just as important as finding the right treatment. It will become easier and more understandable having a professional to monitor your mood. It's important.

It will get better, I promise. They have so much better and more treatment options. YOU will have a good life you will!!!!

It will become easier and more understandable having a professional to monitor your mood. It's important. Will I have a normal life ever again? Is it a lifetime of medications and pain?  Will I be able to do the things I loved to do before? (Dancing, running)... Will I even be able to have a drink lol ...
