My health improved a lot in 2023 and hopefully continues in 2024. The 5 years before that has been a nightmare. I’m just happy I’m on the right track now.

I’m not better off.
Five years ago I was doing pump and spin etc and I was a healthy vegan.
Before then I was happy with my x in sa in only place I’ve ever felt at home out country side South Australia.
Stunning there.
Some people at gym and most of his friends and family were disrespectful and tried suppressing me etc
I was uncomfortable around those people who didn’t appreciate or like me but apart from that I was so happy.
It was pretty perfect.
I was not vegan but had perfect dogs and home and my x was so calm and cool and I adored every second with him.i regretted leaving a happy home to go vegan.
He gave me space to exist and just be and relax and he took care of me as I he.
My boyfriend now is more hot headed and doesn’t have real estate and is very poor.
About a year ago a woman said I don’t deserve to exercise and I’m not allowed to exercise and i couldn’t get myself to exercise anymore.
I put on ten kg or more and neighbourhood has bullied me with bad vibes for over five years all of them against me all alone.
They prance around saying they are superior everyday.
What losers!
If it was true they wouldn’t act the way they do and have.
Things have gotten worse for me.
My horse is dead and she was my everything.
The other people wouldn’t let me spend time with her anyway but chased me away from ranch in discreet ways.
Good news is my boyfriend has taken me on weekend getaway’s sometimes and directed me how to drive to places because I can’t drive there independently.
There’s so many people I don’t want to have any access to me including “family”.
Good news is I haven’t been hospitalised for over five years and I’m on low dose of medication.
Where are my people?
I am all alone.
My boyfriend could be a spy who is friends with my enemies.
Thankfully my dog is alive but he is old.

5 years ago I was in a hospital in Seattle after taking 50,000 mg of Tylenol, with my liver failing and a poor prognosis. They thought I was going to die. I was in the ICU for 15 days…
Today I am mostly stable, living on my own with a dog I got a few months after getting home from Seattle. My dog gives me a reason to live and my quality of life since going on clozapine has improved remarkably.
Am I “cured”? Not even close…but I am definitely experiencing a better life than I was 5 years ago. Just gotta keep choosing to live!

5 years ago I was in the psych hospital for sz. I wasn’t doing well. I am doing better today. I aim to never be in a psych hospital ever again.

Mentally yeah, five years ago was around when it happened for me. But lifepath wise? I feel like I’ve been stuck in the past five years. Take from it what you will.

Short answer: yes.
Long answer: hell yeeees!
If not for the social discomfort and occasional lack of motivation, I would not dwell on my illness at all.
