I am new to this. Just diagnosed the begining of October after a Suicide attempt. Having a fairily good day for the first time since that infamous day. Took a short walk today slowly taking in the sceneary
. I am still on short term disability and am not sure I can go back to work at this point in time
I have begun a journal to help me and am looking foreword to going to my Son's place for Thanksgiving since everyone else is going hunting or working that whole weekend. This greatly upset me at first but now I am at peace with this. At least for now things do change. I am taking my meds on schedule, I am scared not to at this point in time.

Welcome to the nut house. Your thanksgiving is much like ours in that all of us guys are avid white-tailed deer hunters and hunt all day...the wives and girlfriends are happy to get us out of their hair so that they can visit with each other without interruptions.
Enjoy the good days and have an understanding that there are going to be some bumps in the road at times and you will get through them. Crawl, walk and run are my mottos. Start small to be able to accomplish the goal and keep building. Most expect to be able to run right out of the gate only to fall flat on their faces and feel worthless.
Start with goals that you can easily accomplish and next thing you know you will be doing things that you never expected to be able to do.
