update - am now 2 years free!

Hello all,





I never thought I would be able to make this post, and it's certainly taken
me plenty of time, but I am now a year free from self-harm. Last summer I spent
a month as IP, after years of psychosis, depresssion and self-harm. It was a
frightening time and I thought there was no way to get through it all. The
psychosis made it hard to work with the staff at the hospital, but I co-operated
as much as I could and it paid off. My family and super-amazing friends helped
me survive, and they didn't deserve the trouble I sometimes gave them.





Apparently, there is no big cure for my diagnosis, and it may well come back.
But I've made it the whole year, in the real world, with the problems of family,
friends and university, and I have not relapsed. And if I do relapse? I know I
can survive.





So, don't give up and do whatever you can, whenever you can, to fight the
illness.





Love to you all x

Yay Miriam! This is lovely to read, good for you :)

Are you going to mark this/treat yourself in any way?

Really well done lovely :)

It's really heartening to hear the strength in your words when you say you know you can survive.

I'm going to get my year-free bracelet :) Not going to do anything more exciting - I live with my family and although they know about everything, and that I've come a long way this year, I just don't feel comfortable talking to them about this. I know that if I did want to tell them they would be happy for me though.

That's great to hear! :)





I put it down on paper and then the ghost does not ache so much.

Don't try to calm the storm, calm yourself, the storm will pass.

You didn't come this far just to come this far.
