I think everything is turning out ok...

Hey all,

I just thought I'd make a wee post because I think everything might just be working ok.

I think I'm steady on some meds, but not too much... I still bob up and down a wee bit but nothing major. I told my doc I was bobbing just above normal, he asked if I was up to anything risky then said that's great, that's why your feeling happy

I've been getting out and doing things, just adding one more thing at a time into the old juggling act of life.

And I have started doing yoga a couple of times a week which seems to have helped my poor old memory and concentration, which were really getting me down as whats the point in having a degree and a job if you can't think enough to use it...

Anyway, it all seems to be working out ok. It's two years since I bombed out and went mad last, it took me a year to get steady again with a few hiccups along the way and now I feel hopeful for the first time in years...

I just wanted to post this in case it helps someone out there... I never expected it to take so long for me to feel better, and because of that I thought how I felt when my mood was stable-ish was as good as things would get which made me sad because I still didn't feel great and couldn't think clearly.

But looks like things are getting better slowly and surely with the help and patience of my friends and work... I am doing things I never managed before and am hoping this lasts a wee while

This forum helped me with some curly questions I couldn't ask anyone else and helped a lot, so thanks.

I look forward to things getting better for you too

Thanks Faraway, glad you're feeling better. I really needed to hear an encouraging story. :-)

that's awesome! Your doing it, growing, getting past the worst of it... seeing that it's possible when before it seemed impossible! These are the times that you will remember, a short time from now when it feels like a year has gone by... you'll remember this time that you are having!

it's all a part of personal growth... enjoy that feeling that you are having, It doesn't come cheap but man, it's sure worth it!

Awesome! Thank you for sharing this, as I feel like I am headed in the same direction. Yeah! Blessings and loving-kindness to you, and congrats

That's really good to hear!

awesome for you! so glad you feel like things are figured out finally!
