Horrible I went from no symptoms to all of them back in one day. Been dealing with them for 6 months
Not too bad, better than 2017, anyway.

Better than many years in the past, but my health took a turn for the worse. Now, I have to get cat scans looking at possible cancer and I have a chronic skin disease. At least I’m 5 years removed from being in a psych ward.

Some of the things I’ve done this year: got my brief testimony in with Amy and hopefully many other T.I.'s and it was sent into Congress. Got Chuck Schumer on Messenger. I did an ad campaign on Facebook, spent about a hundred bucks, and generated thousands of hits, and hundreds to my blog. I kept sending messages to my reps about our issues, and many other issues. I voted. I blogged and did some writing. I took my son to several fun events. Phil and I saw The Mummies in concert. Recently I’ve bought for the Giving Tree. We grew vegetables in pots. I took the dog many times to the dog park, and the walk on the trails. We went camping, and fishing. I did some temp jobs. This month I will be doing some volunteering. We went to Dubuque for a road trip, and went to Waterloo for a road trip.

Some good things. Mentally and physically really good and moving forward with life.
Lost my mother. That was a big loss but we’re doing all right! Getting the job done!

Nothing changed for me. I’d be happy for more years like that !

Ending the year with motivation and energy. I started the year spending most of the day on the couch or in the bed. The voices are wrecking the end of the year though. I hope we all have a better 2019 than 2018, even if your 2018 went well for you.

I have had kind of a rough year but I am slowly getting my life back on track. I have found multiple support groups that I am very grateful to be able to attend. I am still fighting to find the right meds but I am somewhat stable as of now. For me joining a disability advocate center has been a huge blessing for me. My mentor there has really been able to help me through tough times.
I just recently got my application at a vocational rehabilitation program approved!! So I hope to soon be able to get a job once the new year starts.

Fairly good thank you for asking. I was not hospitalized at all and had mostly good days. Would have liked to have done more productive things. At the very least it was better than 2017 for me as well.

My year is eclipsed by a long ambulance ride to a mental hospital in October. When I was released I was not better, and ended up at a different better hospital where I was put back on zyprexa which works for me. I am trying to get back to normal. I have a supportive husband and mom and other friends who are there for me.

My year was like the Hindu goddess Kali: giving life with one hand and slaughtering it with the other. I had the courage and strength to stay sober throughout – which was really no thanks to anyone else but me. I’ve learned a lot about people, mainly, which ones to trust and which not. I met some really awful, and some really wonderful people. I learned that, for some people, kindness is not a self-evident value. Very strange learning that. Would I want another year quite like this one? I should say not, but on the other hand, things can only get better.

I have had three med changes, and had to work through it all. I have not been allowed to drive all year and nearly got hospitalised back in February. I have been treated like ■■■■ by the mental health team, and I am borderline sick of this year.
That said, I hope the above won’t repeat itself in 2019, and it will be a good year. I am pretty hopeful going into the new year.

2018 has been tough. Was hospitalised twice - in May and September for suicidal depression and voices. Despite taking my meds.
Since October I’ve been stabilised and hoping 2019 will be better and more productive

Gained a billion pounds. Ended up at hospital several times. Physically struggling. I’m like a 90 year old. I missed my daughter’s grad. She understood but I know she was hurt. I suffer with suicidal ideation. My mind has really deteriorated this last year.
Good things are that my kiddos are doing great. They are my source of happiness. Also my family helps as much as they can. I love them all

I think it will end on a good note.
I struggled a lot this year though. And last year. Things are starting to look up now.
