It's been 8 months... how am I now?

It's been 8 months since I had my breakdown. Wow, how time does fly.

Where am I now?

It's interesting to look at how far I have come in the last 8 months. And what has actually changed? Or what's stayed the same:

I am working full time in the same job before I was poorly.

I have a new job title.

I can go to the shops.

I've been to London.

I've been to Barcelona.

I went to Venice.

I watched my youngest brother go to secondary school.

I found love in yoga and meditation.

I continue with my counselling, weekly.

I am still taking antidepressants.

I walk more.

I prefer to stay indoors more.

I read self care books.

I light alot of candles.

I became vegetarian.

I bought house plants for the first time.

I write more often.

I read more often.

I upped my dose in my tablets (doctor approved).

I realised how supported I am.

I still have low days.

I still get anxious.

I can feel happy.

I had my family and closest.

all in one place for the first time.

I watched our close friends have a baby.

I watched our best friends buy their first house (10 minutes from mine!)

And the best part of this year,

I got married.

Reflection is something some of us do, but we rarely get the time to do it.

Reflect on what you have done this year, good or bad. Good is something to hold onto, and bad is time to change.

Thanks for stopping by.
