am I turning a corner

[getreal2000]

Things feel more real, although I do question if I'm dead a lot and if my family are real, I feel happier and less DR. I laugh more. However I can't shake this feeling I'm dead and it's so irritating!!!!! Is this part of recovery or am I still stuck in DR?

Any improvement is a step in the right direction.

You are not dead by all means, you are alive, you sound depressed which keeps you from living a full life , do take it stro by step and you will feel whole again. We are all here to support each other ❤️

I know deep down I'm alive it's just scary where I'm not all there, I guess that's part of recovery. Thanks for your kind words x

I think you're looking at this from the wrong way. You have to see that you are improving. You've been able to achieve what some people are trying to do themselves. If one day is great and the other is not so great that just proves to you that you can be normal and you can have multiple normal days. So moving forward look at it as little accomplishments that will only continue to grow as you use the skills that you were learning here and in your therapy sessions if you have them. Congratulate yourself and continue to press on and move forward I can only get better from here

I do take antidepressants and they seem to put me a "foggy" feeling. Kind of like I'm less reactive and more watchful. It's weird lol. You probably don't recognize yourself, cause you seem like a different person. But it does help my mood.

It's hard getting used to meds, the doctor will want you to stick with it for a few weeks to know if it's working and do your body can adjust to taking them. However some meds are not compatible with our bodies and the doctor will either wean you off it stop right away or lower the dose. It's hard to find what works for you..
