I'm not at all sure anyone will care, but in case someone remembers me from last year and was wondering what's been going on with me, here it goes.

I feel a lot better. I'm still very very far from being ok, but now I go out almost every day and socialize with a few with people I have known last time I was hospitalized, although it's not easy for me maintaining friendships irl. Also, the workers of the mental health center got me a part time job that I like very much and am told I'm good at. This especially improved the quality of my life significantly.

This is it. I want to apologize to those on my friends list for leaving PC last year without providing any explanation. It was very selfish of me, but I didn't know how to explain what was going on. Not an excuse, I know. I saw the numerous PMs you left me even though I wasn't replying or coming online any more and this means so much to me, more than you'll ever know. I really appreciate what you all have done for me and how much you have helped me.
I'm trying to do the same for the wonderful people of PC, even though I'm not good at supporting because of my own negative view of the world... But I'm trying and I like to think my attempts can at least let you all know that I care.

Thanks for reading this far, hugs to all

"selfish" is not necessarily a negative thing. There are time when focusing on oneself (being self-ish) is the most healthy and helpful thing to do!

It is great to hear that you are able to get out with other people, that you are working at a job you like, that you value and where you are valued as well. Life is good
Thanks for this!

Part and parcel of Healing is being capable of centering on Your "Self"; for therein lies the pain and all the trouble which needs to be focused on, nurtured, and reprogrammed.

It would be truly "selfish" to not want to try to feel better inside, so no one could ever know the real you!

I love your posts; and look forward to (as was suggested by Babysteps) you changing your name!!!

I will not call you by that name!!! hugs to a great person--------theo

That's awesome news and I've noticed your supportive posts. Great job on getting out more and I'm so happy you love your job - getting paid for something you like to do - fantastic. I agree, I think it's time to change to a more positive name. Keep up the great work.
