Today marks my year anniversary out of hospital.
Longest time out in 8 years, since I was 14.
Had a couple of close calls in this time, but hospital has been avoided.
It feels weird tbh, but good.
I didn't think I could do it. In fact, no one on the wards thought I could either.
According to some staff, the best I could manage was 6 months at most.
But here I am. A year.
I'm fine! Totally fine. I don't know why it's coming out all loud and squeaky, 'cause really, I'm fine!
Wow Beckie, that sounds amazing! You've done so well and amazingly. In a way this is a huge milestone in your life and is one of many to come. You can do it and you will keep doing it. I think also your post from around this time last year to now is really different and you are more to see and have insight when things are getting hard and you now try seek help before it gets so bad that you require IP treatment. Keep it up your doing so well! Xxx

Its still not really sunk in properly tbh. I never thought it would happen.
Think it was only in 2011 that I was told by a doctor that it was almost certain I'd end up dead, in prison or in Rampton for the rest of my life.
So yeah. That hasn't happened. Hope it won't :p

Well done- that's excellent. Just goes to show, doctors and nurses do't know everything ;)!! Hope you can keep moving forward and up- sounds like you're on a roll
So she lights up a candle for hope to be found
Captive and blind by the darkness around
Each wave a promise, a new hope reborn
