I know I will not be judged here, so I will be upfront. For the past few years, I have been living in a near dream world,where reality and fantasy are intermittented.
I have held convictions which I have thought to be true. Little did I know I was in for a fateful reality check.
Without going into details, and without drawing attention to myself, I have thought myself to be better than I actually was. I have attempted tasks which were beyond me. I have held ideas about people which have been completely false.
The world of paranoia I have lived in socially isolated me and I will be the first to admit I looked foolish and immature.
However, I have learnt, to the betterment of myself, that I am human and nobody notices me much at all. I am so proud of the accomplishments I have made and the progress which has become me.
Sorting reality from fiction is paramount and self reflection is a vital step towards recovery.
Hi Carradiha,
You are so right: it is important to separate reality from fiction if you can, and to engage in self-reflection in recovery. I'm glad to hear from you again.
I know that what works for me is to take my SZ meds every day as prescribed and to work with my pdoc to adjust the dose or change it when needed.
While there is no cure, recovery is possible. I want to praise you now for all your accomplishments. I know it is not easy living with this kind of medical condition.
With hope, with action, we can all change our lives for the better.
Enjoy your day.
Regards,
Christina
