I'm doing 34 things
I’m going to be dealing with this off and on my whole life, but I know that I can handle it. It took me 18 years and 6 suicide attempts and 2 hospitalizations and six years of trying about 14 different meds….but I’m finally ok. It feels different and a bit unfamiliar, but I am getting used to it and liking it more and more. I can focus and I don’t cry all the time and life is much less overwhelming. And I’ve found that I’m still me—I don’t feel any less creative or honest or even less cynical sometimes. And maybe I’ll fall back into the disease, and maybe it’ll still get me in the end, but for now, I’m happy. And knowing that I can feel happy is awesome.
