I was gone for about a week. I’m not having many thoughts about self harm anymore. Still some, but not a lot.
I excercised yesterday, which is something I don’t usually do anymore, so I’m proud of myself for that. I feel like I’m getting better about a lot of different things. A few weeks ago I stayed home alone for about 30-45 minutes, which is something I hadn’t done in years.
I’m also getting better about showering. I’ve been taking showers every other day rather than every three to four days.
Douglas MacArthur and me both solute you. But seriously, nice little post of yours showing improvement is possible in schizophrenia. Sounds like you’re on a roll, I wish you good luck in your recovery.
Thank you very much! I’ve been getting better about other things that weren’t in this post too, but I don’t remember what they are. I was talking about them to my mother earlier.
Welcome back and sounds like your starting to move forward! Exercise is good. Improves your general health and does a lot for the mind as well. Try and keep it regular and good luck in improving!
Thank you! I used to excersise before every shower, but then I stopped for some reason. Whenever I was doing that my showers were really far apart from each other though, so it still wasn’t everyday that I was exercising.
I’m also getting into a better shower routine! I’m hoping to be able to do every other day. But if I can reliably get twice a week I’ll still be happy.
Thank you! Good luck to you with that. It’s a hard thing to break in my opinion. I have been avoiding taking showers everyday since I was around 7, and I had gotten worse and worse about it over time, but now I feel like I’m finally getting better.
