How I did it: I will never truly be free of the monster that always looms...but I have learned to fight him enough to crawl back out of the black hole before he traps me. 
Never go it alone...never.

Lessons & tips: If you need help, get it.  Don't let people stop you.  Work on accepting yourself.  Work through your past.  Although your past will always rear its ugly head (like PTSD!), that doesn't mean you can't keep working through it.  Pretending you are well is half the battle..you don't have to be fake...but you have to act the way you wish to feel.  No matter what.
