The old me.
« on: February 02, 2012, 02:51:18 PM »
The other day, my Nan said that it was like having the "old me" back. She said that she hadn't seen me looking so well in years, and that she wondered why they hadn't changed my medication to the current combination sooner. She said that my laugh sounds genuine again and that I seem more relaxed.


Today, my Mum said that my step-dad has said the same thing - that they've got back the person who I used to be back. The bubbly, happy, smiley person who enjoys life. Mum said that she can see it in my eyes. She said she hadn't realised how different I'd been until I became like I am now.


It's weird. I do feel really well. I feel happy and settled (now the stress of moving house is over) and quite content. Even the getting a job thing isn't dragging me down as much. I've got a lot of voluntary stuff going on at the moment and I will find the right job in time.


I don't really know why I'm posting. I guess it feel a bit weird, you know? It feels odd when people say that it's nice to have to old me back. I didn't realise that I'd changed so much, but perhaps I had. That's a bit scary in itself - I don't want to be a changed person. I like being happy. Then I worry about it just being the medication, especially after what my Nan said - I don't want to be false, you know? But then, Mum said that I'm the person I used to be, before all of the MH stuff started, so perhaps the meds are just righting what was wrong.


Thinking out loud, I know. Just wanted to put it somewhere.

Thank you. :hug2:


Positive stuff keeps happening. I picked up my meds from the pharmacy the other day and the person who served me said it was lovely to see me out and about. She said that I need to keep it up, which I do. Once I start staying in, everything seems to spiral downwards and it usually ends badly.


I had a really good appointment with a Next Step advisor today and she's given me some new ideas with regards to work. She highlighted the transferable skills I have and boosted my confidence a bit. Just got to pull together what she's written and put it down on a CV.


So far so good...
