@colinwalker Good to hear! I’ve been out for about five years now. 20 years experience in the system, but my condition started at an early age. I have no illusions that life will ever be perfect (or anywhere near perfect), but I too am at a point where I can handle (medicate & meditate) most things that arise. All the best to you, and your health. 💕
@colinwalker Very happy to read this, Colin, huge congrats! It’s a big day when you’re able to have the confidence to take control again without help, or medication. I recently was able to wean myself off anxiety meds, and I feel all the better for it.
@colinwalker Congratulations! To me, the biggest win of dealing with mental health problems (through several years of therapy) was to finally be able to say what you wrote today: “under no illusions that everything is suddenly perfect”. That’s a major milestone in itself and more or less the mantra that is still very helpful to me most of the time.
@colinwalker congratulations! A huge milestone to reach. I hope to reach it as well at some point. And yeah it will never go away or be perfect but you know how to react to it in a better was - at least that is what is happening for me.
