Just a thought on looking here for success stories. This board is used mostly by people who are suffering - it gives them comfort. I suspect that if/when things begin to improve there is less need to come here resulting in people's stories being incomplete. This tendency would make it difficult to determine true success ratios...
Hang in there. Its hard and painful, but you CAN get through this. When you feel overwhelmed that's probably a sign you need to shift your focus back to YOU.
Hope your day is good
