Almost a year ago I was admitted to a psychiatric hospital for the second time. I was stuck in a cycle of emergency room visits, being referred to different services and attending crisis centres.
I felt so hopeless but I decided that I would give recovery one last shot and I knew it would need to be 1000000%.
My life has changed so much in the last year. Things still feel so hard sometimes but Iโm managing. I dont feel so ashamed anymore and Iโm making plans for the future again. Iโm so grateful and happy I decided to get better.
This feels a bit self serving but Iโm proud of myself. Something happened yesterday that would have sent me over the edge, but Iโm coping. It still hurts a lot but Iโm not hurting myself. Itโs been nice to reflect on it today.
