I sat out in the grass and did homework today. It was sunny and I could feel the warmth...and I wasn't scared. I could feel the breeze... and I wasn't scared. I could concentrate on my homework... and I'm okay. I didn't panic and didn't go into sensory overload mode and I was calm. I got to run my fingers through the grass. I can't even describe the feeling I feel right now. I can't remember being able to enjoy those simple pleasures of life in years. Thanks to meds I can. I feel like I'm starting to get my life back. I can go do things and not be in a state of continual panic. I'm getting my life back.

There is hope

I'm so glad that you were able to feel as though you felt today. I also experienced a very similar thing with the warm sunshine ... hopefully this is an indicator of how things will be once spring comes around!

That's awesome news! Reaching a point where panic isn't control your life is a beautiful feeling of freedom. It's like we get to rediscover the world all over again. I'm so glad you're in that place. My meds did wonders for me too. I resisted taking anything for a long, long time, but I'm so glad I finally did. Treatment turned my life around. There are so many more experiences and wonderful days like today for you to look forward to. Hugs of joy to you!!!

Such a perfect description of what it feels like to have a moment of hapiness in a sea of despair. When it happens to me it reminds me of the way I felt when I was a child. Nothing to worry about and able to enjoy the little things There is hope
