My life suddenly
Made complete sense
When I stopped trying
To be someone else

Oooph, I feel that one.
I spent years sick, trying to make sense of my delusions, self medicating.
Wasn’t until I was honest with myself and got some help that things turned around. I found a me I’d been trying to hide and suppress. Got on some meds.
You weren’t diagnosed until your 30’s, right?
Did you have symptoms since your teens?

Yes 38
Yes I did. I was spending most of my “thinking time” worrying about meta physical stuff. I was misdiagnosed with depression at about 19.

We have that in common, I wasn’t diagnosed until 32. In my teens it was major depressive disorder with psychotic features, only was given an antidepressant back then. I’d thought I was psychic and actually hearing ghosts back then.
My condolences for your years sick. I’m wishing you well, and am glad you’ve found some peace.

I think it’s beautiful when we learn who we are and how to just be. Excellent poem.

The beauty of getting older
By far
Is that we eventually become
Who we truly are

I can relate.
When I was diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome and started to really understand what that meant, I began to see myself as I really am, and not the failed human being I imagined myself to be before that.
I like your poems @everhopeful.
