Yea! 8 months today! And I can't sleep! I went to bed early and woke up an hour ago.
Geez...if I wouldn't have had that relapse earlier this year I'd be two weeks away from a year sober. Oh, well.
It happened...and because it 'hit me' when it happened I changed. Without that change sobriety would not be possible for me today.
I know everyone is different, but I cannot stress enough the importance of taking care of one's mental health.
It's weird...I've been feeling really good the last week...the kind of good that makes me feel like I don't have depression.
I know it's still there...and it's important for me to keep taking my meds and to continue therapy.
What a great feeling. I feel normal. Normal for me means not feeling high/buzzed...not feeling artificially happy...not feeling hopeless and suicidal.
I know that can change at any time...and if it does I know what to do. Reach out for help.
