They seem to be working decently. I’ve still been seeing things, but my thinking seems a lot more clear which I’m grateful for.

Glad to hear you’ve been doing ok. Have things been getting better for you? Last time we spoke you weren’t in a great place.

Also just wanted to add that my PM’s are always open if you need or want to talk!

Think about your words, “my thinking seems a lot more clear”. That is AMAZING! I know the struggle isn’t over, and I ache to know you are still seeing things, but to have relief must be glorious! Are you able to spend your time differently now that you are more free? Are you celebrating?

Things do not “feel” better, but they are. I have an incredible amount of support. I told my friends and family to prepare for my suicide. Though I don’t want to do it, I expect I will in a weaker moment. Their responses were smart. They were loving and compassionate. But I was most impressed with their wisdom. So I don’t feel better, but I am in good hands. Thanks for asking!

Thank you for your kind words! It is nice to have some relief. I’ve been handling the visual hallucinations as best I can. As far as my free time it’s not much different. Still spending a lot of time alone. But I got a job today! I start Saturday.

I’m sorry that things don’t feel better. I’ve had that feeling many times in the past. But it’s awesome that you’re in good hands and have a loving and supportive family! Just keep on keeping on! I believe in you!

CONGRATULATIONS!! That’s terrific! You must be so happy! What an accomplishment! What will you be doing? How long has it been since you worked?

Thanks! Definitely trusting other people to see what I can’t.

How did you get better? What did you do?

Thanks! I’ll be doing maintenance for a local restaurant. It’s been about a month and a half since my last job.

Honestly the only thing I can think of I did to get better was to keep hope and recognize my limits. I like to think I know what I can and can’t handle right now, but I hold out hope that in the future I can do more. It sounds so cliche but accepting what I feel was a big step forward for. Analyzing what I feel, saying to myself that it’s ok to feel whatever I’m feeling, but if it’s negative trying to challenge the thoughts behind the negative feeling.
