Still far off. Negative symptoms are a ■■■■■.
I would say they are coming along very slowly but nicely.
My goal right now is too just try to feel better.
I also hope i get The work i applied too.
Also going on a trip soon.
Im also gonna do more mindfulness and on a yoga course.
I just got back from my ADHD appointment. He thinks I could have ADD (not ADHD) but I need a further test to confirm the results. I’m not sure taking Adderall or the like is a good idea.
Good ? My son had that for years and is hooked on it. It dose help you focus

Starting to look more hopeful. My depression isn’t bad right now. My voices are quiet, and today I’m getting out of the house to try something new.
My goals of mental health recovery is coming along
I had to wait for my son to turn 18 to leave my husband, and my son turned 18 on the 24th of July and I left on the 25th, then I had to wait to quit smoking until I left my husband because I couldn’t get him to quit and I couldn’t quit with the cigarettes right there in front of me every time I tried. I quit on the 25th. I want to lose weight next. I think I’ve proven to myself that I can do things if I put my mind to them. So I can do this. I joined a life skills program to help me. It’s a year long program with 4 months of intensive work. I feel this will really help me with my goal to lose weight. Then after that I don’t know what my goal will be. I guess just enjoy being healthy and happy.

I would like to say I’m keeping my head above the water. But I think I’m drowning.

Honestly I can’t do much.
For me making a pot of coffee or changing the bird feeder are big accomplishments.
The negative symptoms are destroying me!

As my gym buddy says, I’m hamster wheeling…
Not so good. As soon as I feel life is looking up then the depression comes back
My personal goals are coming along fine, albeit later than I expected, recovery just takes time

Pretty bad. Had a very rough night and morning. Still working on quitting smoking. Feel better right now, with the new motto “Quit trying so hard, you will never be able to do anything without relaxing your self some and having resonable expectations” I’ve certainly been unreasonable with myself.
idk, i dont think i’m going anywhere, i’m not where i want to be, far from it 
It’s okay I guess. I’m doing well but I have to remember to stay humble because life is fragile. I’ve settled a little but but I still want a good life for myself. So trying to find a happy medium.

I struggled majorly through 2015-2018. Id like to think i have come a long way. I feel like i lost a bit of time in my life during those years though…sorry if i ramble but im mapping it out.
My illness completelty took over by my junior/senior years of highschool and then I had to get a medical leave from college after just 2 months (essentially i dropped out)
Then i moved out on my own for a year and majorly turned to drugs/alcohol, struggled to pay bills, not enough money for food, electricity etc.
Then i moved back home, felt shitty about it and basically wasted all of 2017 bc i was too depressed to do anything.
2018 came. My grandmother and my dog of 12 years both passed away and previously i had never really experienced a major loss. I was so broken and I lost friends too. I fell in love in February but ended up getting cheated on,used and tossed aside by December. The most horrible heartbreak ive felt.
Now, as of this past summer i went back to community college. Im taking it slow so i dont get overwhelmed. ive held a menial job for the last year and a half though which im proud of.
I cant wait to keep on growing. There are always going to be setbacks but we have to use that energy to conquor fear.
I still wish i had more goals, motivation, passion and a real reason to live. On the inner core i am far from my personal goals. I wish i cared more and i wish i could do more.

I’m not at all the person I hoped I’d be by now, but that’s okay; I can still become that person. 
I’ve proven to myself that not even psychosis can keep me down forever.

It’s likely I’ll never be the person I’d hoped to be. Maybe all that is just unreasonable or slightly delusional, just like thinking you can be somebody totally different. Better not to get yourself worked up over that. It can drive you crazy.
