Well done Vick for making it back, it must have been the biggest battle you’ve ever won
my mother was a manic depressive for about 6 years and it was so tough to live with as I was only 14. As you say some people don't come back anything like they were before
My 'thing' is that I hate people standing behind me or just off my shoulder, it really puts me on edge and progresses into a bad thing as I get more stressed. I like to have my back to the wall and everyone in front of me.
I'm not sure if it's a phobia but I've really freaked out a few times due to it.
