It’s been five months since I started my meds.
Somehow… I can tell I’m not the same person I was back then. I’m steadier now. My emotions don’t crash as hard. There’s this quiet calm I didn’t think I’d ever feel again. I’ve started smiling without forcing it. The happiness feels real soft, not loud, but real. I won’t lie. this journey hasn’t been easy. Sticking to the medication. Pushing myself to stay occupied. Choosing, every day, to do things that are good for me even when I didn’t feel like it. It took effort. It took strength I didn’t even know I had. But I did it. I really gave it my all.
And lately, I feel lighter. Like I’m no longer suffocating under my own expectations. I’m not trying so hard to look “fine” anymore. I’m just… allowing myself to be.
Now I’m slowly looking for a job. Trying to build something new for myself. A different life. A better one.
