Hooray!

So for months and months I've been going through a load of stuff at work which has affected my dep & anx beasties. I wasn't really coping well with my drugs. Doc gave me something different which although I'm still adjusting to, seems much better. Also the issues at work appear to finally be coming to an end.

I've been really detached, feeling like a zombie for months and months and last night, I was watching a YouTube video about some puppies going up and down some stairs and I just felt so happy! Like I was finally able to connect to something emotionally! I've still had zombie moments today but it's nice to feel like it's beginning to crack and the sun is beginning to seep in. It's so good to feel hope again.

I guess what I'm trying to say in my weird and roundabout way is: Stick with it. You will get there! It may seem like you can't do it, but one day a few cracks will appear in the barrier that keeps you isolated from yourself and in will come the warm fuzzy feelings!

Keep smiling my lovelies, the worst thing that can happen is you start to believe it 😁

Oh Cookie101, I so believe in that thought. :)

I called mine the "aha" moment and knew everything

was going to be okay. It was an amazing feeling.

We all can get there eventually, when the time is right.

Thanks for sharing :) xx

I love this. I remember being outdoors and finding something beautiful and thinking, "Wait a minute. I JUST NOTICED SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL!". I think it's a signpost that we're on the right road to recover. Thanks for sharing!

Great post Cookie. Sometimes I can feel very detached for ages then suddenly a genuine real emotion breaks through whether it's happy or angry it doesn't matter. I hold on to that and know that I will be ok. x
