Jen, I do the same thing. It's pretty normal because in helping someone else we take the focus off of our own problems so in a sense we are distracting ourselves. And you should pat yourself on the back for these things you've listed. I understand how you feel about the first two, but think of this... your breakdown has affected your ability to do these things so getting back in the swing of them is an accomplishment. It's like the old analogy of getting back on the horse after you've taked a spill. It can be scarry and difficult, but you've overcome these obstacles and that should be acknowledged. Taking the meds can be a difficult pill to swallow (forgive the pun) for many so that too is an accomplishment. And as far as opening up goes, some people would rather waste their and their t's time and keep things bottled up inside... so again you should pat yourself on the back. Therapy can get very rough before it gets better but it seems to me like you have a strong will to get better and you should feel good about that. Take care of yourself and be good. Just remember that you can do this and we're all behind you.
