Have you ever felt that the demons or voices or whatever is happening in your mind has sucked all the life out of your mind? Like you've been dealing with this so long that all your creativity and everything that makes you happy is gone in your left in the blah state where nothing makes you happy?

Yes. Not real demons though. Just the illness. I'm not who I was before things got so bad. I really miss who I was.

Me too. I had so much life and creativity, even though I was still miserable. I muss the days when I felt somewhat alone.

I sm nothing like my former self. There are things I miss and one thing I like better now. I miss being able to really laugh. Where you laugh so hard your face and stomach hurt. I miss smiling all the time. I'm much too serious now. But I am more patient since my break. I think being hospitalized reminded me of what it felt like to be a child. My children are benefitting from this new found patience.

I am a lot more serious now than I was before and it takes something earth shattering to make me laugh.

I have felt like demons were sucking the life out of me and making me misersble, and Hearing them just really stuck it to me.

I know the feeling. Some days I feel like a shell of my former self. Some days I feel my former self growing back though so it's not all that bad.

Me too. Remembering what it was like to be your former self makes you think you should've been more grateful then but even then there was situations where you couldn't. I would say it makes you more tolerant but that's not really true :/
