Hello,

I'm wondering if anyone can share their experiences and/or opinion on the subject of getting back to normal. What I mean is the way you used to be before you ran into mental problems.

Let's say that now you got your issues more or less under control. Life moves on. But you feel changed/different. You realize that there are issues that may be with you forever or for a long time. Things that used to work no longer do. Interests you had before no longer appeal to you, etc. Everyone around you and you yourself expect to get back to normal, to the way it used to be.

The question is whether it's better/wiser to accept your current state today and move on adapting your lifestyle, etc. or assume that the work isn't quite done and wait until you feel like wanting the things you used to want, etc.

Thanks
