Changed my mind

[rosepanda]

I had planned to ctb today but my thoughts have changed over the last several days. I promised myself that if I survived my attempt or changed my mind before attempting I would focus all my effort on recovery. While I've found the people on this site to be quite kind in my short time here, I don't expect to be nearly as active anymore. Most of you probably don't know who I am anyways lol

I had a relapse and started taking meds 2 weeks ago, I have very bad moments and others in which I can have silence in my mind for 3 hours. I try to recover, I think about CTB too but now I like to think that I will win. I send you a hug. We don't have to know each other.

Good luck partner. I'm happy the road of recovery could be found.

If i had to give advice, try to have some exercise, clean your bedroom, play games how you feel like playing them and be nice.

i'd definitely look into a therapist in your area, if you can't afford one some of them have a sliding scale so it can be a lot cheaper or even free. there are a lot of different types of therapy and not everyone meshes well with their first therapist so don't be afraid to shop around.
if you don't have a psychiatrist or a dr who can prescribe anti-depressants, that's another thing you could look into.
having a good routine and sleep schedule that you stick to should also help.
goal setting is another area id look into, "smart goals" can make it easier to have a concrete goal to work towards.
i know you might roll your eyes at this one but i'd really recommend meditation as well. adding it into your daily schedule for a few mins each day and you can work up to increasing the amount you meditate. there is a good app called "waking up", if you go to there site you can get a year free so you don't have to pay. it isn't a fix/cure but it can make things easier.
