6 months, baby, yeah

I haven't been around much these days. I log in every so often to check on certain people, but that's about it. I'm logging in today to report that I feel good. For the first time over the past several months I feel like I'm back to baseline. I could crash and burn tomorrow with how these things can go, but I don't really care. I just want this post to look back on. I had a day where I felt good. No apathy, no serious anxiety, and no depression.

 

I was doing alright after the first 2-3 months, but I still felt off. I couldn't get out of my own head. I couldn't relax. My anxiety was through the roof. I couldn't deal with stress or anything really. I spent months feeling apathetic and anxious. Wondering how much damage I was going to have to deal with and for how long. It was an abysmal time. I still get into funks, but they're substantially better and easier to deal with.

 

I don't want to make this post too long, just know it gets better, even if you're not feeling 100% yourself. I've been going out, seeing friends, spending time with my SO, and getting myself back on track. I've been doing more feeling like crap than I had been doing when I was "well".

 

Thank you all for being here and being so supportive. I hope you all find some peace in the new year.

Congratulations on the six month mark! You're doing great being able to go out and do things.

Congratulations!  Good job!

Congrats on 6 months! I know exactly how you feel. I was on Klonopin for ~4 weeks and 14+ months later I am still paying for it. Biggest mistake of my life. Like you I'm doing a lot better, but still waiting for 100%.
