Being well on the right meds feels like

On my way out of an episode right now, and i think i’m finally on the right meds.

I was on a walk by a river and all of a sudden I noticed my head was empty, rather than noisy, racing and confused.

It felt like i’d been living next to a building site and i hadn’t even noticed how noisy it was until they stopped drilling.
Reminds me of the metaphorical frog in a boiling pot of water, who doesn’t even notice he’s being boiled as the temperature slowly rises.

What does being well feel like for you, compared to being on the curve of an episode?

So the million dollar question. What now for you, now that you’re stable?

It feels like there is hope again. I tend to be very fatalistic when I am psychotic. I’m glad you’re feeling better, too.

I thought I was on the right meds but one hiccup can have you questioning everything. I catastrophize easily. But that doesn’t change that it’s all very real for me.
