Just thought i would let you know
 

I got discharged from my Psychiatrist on Wednesday. For the first time in over 5 years i am considered stable and "sane" enough not to need a psych!

I am still under the care of the MHT but i will liaise via my GP.

I guess thats good news right?

Recovery is ****ing hard. the illness is the "easy" part.

I just wanted to say that if an old **** up like me can get this far then so can others who have so much more than i could ever hope for.

Thank you

It's fantastic Matthew. I'm really proud of you.

Whoop, whoop!

YAY proud of you pingu.

And I know right now, your probably beating yourself up and thinking of ways to destroy yourself! well dont! Because as you said, it has been a hard battle, and if you go back, we will all come and drag you back to this point.

But still, make sure you are using all your new skills. Asking for help, talking about things, progressing inthe right direction!!
You can do it penguinboy.

That's brilliant news :) and it inspires me to hopefully recover one day too

Wow that is major news! Thanks for letting us know, really encouraging.

Recovery is a really, long hard road to travel so I hope you celebrate this step!

Take care of yourself and let us know how you go on.

CB.

Love you Matthew!

such great news to hear. *smiles*

I know how hard you have worked to get to this point. Please be proud of yourself. It was damn hard Matt but you DID it!!:hop: :hop: :hop:

I'm so happy for you :)

much loves.

Well done! And thanks for the update, I was wondering where you'd been recently.
Good luck with everything.

Man thats so good to hear matthew.

Thank you. I still dont feel "right" but at least i dont feel as bad. Motivation is hard. 3 days to work myself up to going to the gym lol. Gonna try and go today.

Theres a sadness and a heavy melancholy that comes with recovery. Its like waking up and thinking "of ****, did that really just happen to me?".

Ive not quite gotten to the "hope" part yet and i still cry a lot but perhaps one day soon ill feel awake and full of energy and alove and ..................happy?

You know what the biggest difference is?

for years i thought i was making it all up. I thought i was 100% in control of how i felt. I was convinced i made everything happen myself. The difference now is that when i try to do good and healthy and helpful things "it" is still there.

currently i am trying to figure how bad "it" actually was/is? I cant seem to find a benchmark for which to pin it against.


.....and yes Rainy i couldnt have done it without those puppies of love to help me on my way :P

Matt, so very proud. As said, you have worked so damn hard to get to this point. You really have.

I understand what you mean about feeling you were 'making it all up'...but you really weren't. You were very ill, Matt.

I think 'it' will always be there. But the difference now is the effect it will have on you, how you will deal with it.

Go, pengy, go!!
