Why do I miss my illness when I’m doing so well? I miss the voices and depression and yet I’m so happy now without them.
One thing I’m terrified of is if my sza returns and I lose the spiritual closeness with God that I got over the last two months. I’m scared that if my depression returns I will lose intimacy with God again. And yet adversity can draw me close to Him.
But why would I miss my sza? It’s like I feel like I’m not me if I’m not battling sza. Like my wellness is Alien to me.
Sza has become like an old pair of comfy jeans to you. Change is hard for everyone. Just remember that being healthy is like getting a new pair of jeans, and the longer you wear them the comfier they are
I wouldn’t miss the voices, they’ve hurt me too many times for me to have any kind of attachment to them.
I need uninterrupted silence in my mind to think about things. I don’t need some A.I. routine opining on everything I come up with, making me feel micromanaged.
One of the things the mind most wants is predictability, even if it is bad. If you’re encountering too much that is new you can sometimes sabotage it. Try not to do that.
to me my sz is like an old skin that i need to shed and grow a better skin, its not something that i like, i dont hate my illness, just wish it would go away and with the help of my meds it has mostly.
