Despite my dreary personal circumstances, mentally I'm doing very well. In fact, considering how seriously screwed up I used to be-I have a long and dismal psychiatric history- I'm doing extraordinarily well, thanks to medication and an unbelievable therapist, I just love her (although my psychiatrist is a chickenhead).I've said this before and I'll keep saying it...
I was so sick, so depressed, so self-destructive,
that if I can get better, I know you can too. I know it. It's so hard to wait, so hard to hang on,
the road to recovery can seem like the trek up Mount Everest. You just have to keep putting one foot in front of the other and try to take advantage of every opportunity to feel better with medication, therapy, family, support groups-
whatever it takes. You have to learn how to take care of yourself.
Shalom-
Gracie
