My life is okay,I am going to work daily,do my workout daily but just recovering from injury so I missed football…I have got a psychotherapy next Wednesday I will prepare and list some important point to discuss,I am without friend now because I am not really keen to socialize but would hope to change this

I feel that I missed a little bit of willpower,I overeat but my intense workout prevent me from getting fat.Even though my quality of life had improved but I feel I still can be a little more socialable,but I also don’t want to over stress myself and be socialable

Reducing unnecessary stress and living a life where Fitness,Sports and work as my piority had helped me climb out of the mixed episode(Dark Hole) and also prevent me from dropping in…I will promise myself that I will continue to do my work,workout and also finding joy from football,I hope I will not stop and my motivation will keep going…it’s late and goodnight

Good for you GTX your headed in the right direction. Really I’m just riding the storm out until I get back to normal. Its a slow train with a lot of confusion and frustration along the way.Eventually I’ll get back to living life. ALl the changes I want to make are in my head.

@Gtx1990

It sounds like you have a good plan and it’s hard not to get frustrated at the time it takes to heal. But from the outside looking in… I think you are doing great.

You have a job… a sport you love… a healthy body… the rest will come.

Life is going pretty well for me. It’s hard to keep up with what I’ve set in motion. I wish I didn’t get so tired so easily… I’m working on stamina. I’m also working on balance.

I have a hard time balancing what I need to do with the time I have to do it. I’ve never really had to manage my own time.

It’s all a learning process…

Good luck and hope you keep getting better.

Yea,@surprisedj happy to hear that your life is going back well,you try hard and maintain faith in yourself,I admire that and would like to do that too but for me balancing work and personal life is not easy and it’s important…although I would actually like to place work before leisure,it would be perfect to have both in a well balanced manner :smiley:

for me it feels like ive wasted a lot of years of my life, right now its to get my assignments done and finally graduate uni then find a decent job. ultimately i would like to find a way to not let my illness ‘control’ me, i dont want to avoid something cos it triggers me, i want to look through them and get back to finding who i am and being genuinely happy.

What are you studying in Uni?

There was one doc who kept talking me out of going to college. I was told people with Sz couldn’t handle it.

But then when I began reading this site… I saw a lot of people in uni… that inspired me to forget the doom and gloom prognosis and try new things.

Glad to hear your starting to get this behind you.

just computer science

im surprised your doc tried to talk you out of it, id imagine them being more encouraging that youre showing ambition.

my doc wanted me to keep taking meds during uni and then stop, my reasoning to go off meds was if i cant do uni without meds then i wont be able to go off them after… oh and cos i stopped taking meds 6 months before that :confused:

I have to admit, not every doc I’ve been too has been amazing. I like my main doc, but there were some along the way… not as helpful.

I want to have more physical and mental energy to do some sports and hobbys. If I could something change, I would want to be more active. I would like to go hiking, bikeing, roller skating etc. And take som good photos, I have bought a new camera. Then read more. Just things that made and make me happy. I know I would not handle stress in work or school and have not energy for it, too, so I do not want this at the moment, maybe later. Enjoying hobbys is on the first place. It makes people happy. I admire, like some of you are doing great. You study, work, have active lifestyle. That is fantastic. :thumbsup:
