I have been on medication for 442 days now. You could say I run on it. I have tried to stop taking it before and It doesn’t work. It’s like trying to swim in open water during a storm. My medication is my life raft and while the sea is still rough at least I’m above water. In the recent year or so I’ve tried to be more open about my illness to connect to people out there that felt isolated like I did. I suppose I want something good to come from all this. The earliest I can remember feeling this way was 12 years old, I don’t remember what it feels like to feel happy anymore but, I’m working towards that goal. Therapy has helped a lot, I remember being reluctant at first because I had heard so many bad things but honestly it was the best decision I ever made.
I don’t know what I’m trying to say with all of this. I wanted to put something out there for Mental Health Awareness Month. I want you to know if you are reading this you aren’t out to sea alone, there are others out there fighting the storm trying to get back to land with you. I am still not happy but I’m also still here so that is a plus. I guess I was just looking for a connection today so that’s why I wrote this.
