Re: Learning to live (and be myself) again
There is a saying that rather than trying to focus on having a good day, look for the good in the day, no matter how small it is. We hope that your techniques are helping you calm down @eudemonism .

Re: Learning to live (and be myself) again
I feel like my thinking has changed over the last few weeks.... I've been reflecting on my stages of being unwell and have been taking note of my present condition vs prior conditions...
Stuff like being ontop of washing, showering, hygiene... being motivated toward my personal goals... reaching out to family and friends more... feeling like I'm in control of the direction of my life... you know doing well... winning... succeeding... achieving... being well as can be...
It's hard because I've constantly got depression, anxiety and psychosis (my mi) lingering in my mind... and I've constantly got the burden of side effects to deal with... + truth be known... my mental and physical condition is basically a result of my circumstances/world around me & the choices I'm making to deal with it...

Re: Learning to live (and be myself) again
@eudemonism I know it is not easy. I am still struggling with deep depression. We can only press on. Take care.

Re: Learning to live (and be myself) again
It's interesting how big an impact doing little chores can have on our wellbeing, isn't it @eudemonism? Tony Robbins once said something about just being sure to make your bed each morning and have a shower or bath, just the action of getting up and doing both of those things can give you momentum to do something else. Not sure it works every day, but it makes some sense In your reflecting, are you writing the stages down or just doing a lot of thinking/meditating on past situations?

Re: Learning to live (and be myself) again
@Meowmymy condition is constantly fluctuating and it's usually from one extreme to the other... it's not real good.. it definitely don't feel natural or normal to be experiencing this ... basically crawling from one day to the next and in desperate need of something to change. .
