Hey guys,

Me again lol

Just wondering if anyone has gotten really upset about the past? I am meaning in terms of how you were before diagnosis and medication impacted your life? Last night I was sitting talking to myself I talk out loud all the time part of my "weirdness" and I got really upset and angry at the fact I have withdrawn from society completely. This time 2 years ago I was constantly out enjoying myself, drinking, partying etc etc!! Now I am lucky if I go out my house after 5pm.

My head is saying it's a good thing I have my diagnosis and medication (when I acceptingly take them) and my heart and body dislike it and think I need my old life back again. Many people have told me I would not like my old life back again as well I was out of control and on the road to mass destruction. But it was me. It was who I was in my late teens and early twenties. Why should I be boring now. That's what has happened as now I am afraid to go out, afraid to socialise, afraid to get my life back.

My MH Team says I need to work on my social side, going out at night to clubs and pubs with my friends. I have no idea how I am going to manage that at all

Any thoughts?
