I’m called “stable” now and should give myself a pat on the back for that. Of course, a lot of credit should go to my provider who insists that I did it all myself. Nope, I need her. But it’s been almost 9 years since I was hospitalized and I have to work to remember how really sick I have been in the past. It’s all a bad memory that I don’t usually have time for. I’m still struggling and often wonder if life is worth it but I’m not quite the hardship to other people that I have been in the past.

That’s awesome that you’ve been doing so well for so long! Going nine years without a hospital stay is a major accomplishment . This September will mark nine years since my last psychotic break, but I’ve had five hospital stays since then. Yeah, after nine years it’s hard to think back on how sick you’ve been in the past, like it happened in another lifetime or something, even if the illness still does present its share of challenges.

Congratulations. I am stable now too. I mean I would like to be much better but considering how sick I was I have come a long way.
This month makes it five years since my last hospitalization. I am hoping that will have been my last one.

Congrats! Very good to hear 
I am also pretty stable currently and doing well. I’ve been out of my last depressive episode for a month now, and have had no psychotic episodes since summer 2015.

I’m doing really well too. I haven’t been hospitalized (for psych symptoms), in five and a half years. I think that life is definitely worth it and I only have residual voices, paranoia and anxiety. My mood is stable.

It’s been just a year since I had an episode. I was only diagnosed a year and a half ago so I am happy about that. Congratulations to you on 9 years! That’s really something.
