Today marks 8 months without a hospitalization. To tell you the truth, I didn't think this day would come, but since I've taken my medications and gone to therapy and treatment, things have gotten a lot easier.
I think the real turning point came when I didn't think about the hospital anymore.
Mental illness can be very difficult but treating it in the correct way can lead to positive results. If you take it step by step, it is possible to move forward.
In the past few months I have had to come to terms with my serious mental illness and I have had to battle with it through paranoia and psychosis, but it is very rewarding to know that I am moving forward.
Moving forward does not have to mean getting everything right or perfect. It may mean you take baby steps. It may mean you don't know what will happen, but you trust that God has your back.
And He always will...
