In a week, I'll be preparing to fly the nest.
Terrified, but excited all the same.

Thanks man, glad to have all of your support.
Not to sound too idealistic here but it'll do me a lot of good I'm sure.
I'll feel a little less 'behind' others for a start and less of a burden.
And maybe I could start to like myself again too.

Knowing there's always help there when I need it. I somehow convinced myself to stop taking Zoloft a couple of weeks ago and today I was on my own a lot and I found myself just breaking down. Luckily, I had some on me and I've taken some. Why is this a happy post? Because I'm far better than I was and fought against that horrible cloud this time around. Just seeing that growth is a big thing for me, having the confidence to say 'well, this isn't right' and fight against the side of me that revels in negativity is huge. And I'm winning. I'm fucking winning.

Just a quick update (and an apology for further derailing the thread) but last night was a fairly happy one.
My Auntie phoned out of the blue and we spend a good 30 minutes just talking things through about how I was settling in, how her side of the family were and what have you, not very exciting I know but I think the very fact that people reach out and ask how you are and are willing to spend time talking to you means a lot in this busy world.
It makes you realise the ever important fact that yes, we are valued, and yes we are loved and it's far better to embrace something like that than push it away.

After becoming disabled there are things that make me happy that I can't access anymore
It is quite a journey to explore for new ways to be happy,
but here are a few things I can still enjoy although maybe in new ways
- helping other people or animals - using my creativity on a DIY project - going for a drive and finding a nice scenic view - a meal made from scratch - binge watching a good tv series - accomplishing a goal I've set my mind to

When it comes to things I enjoyed or made me happy, For example I used to practice and teach martial arts and not being able to show someone how to do it properly makes it harder to share that side of it. Another example, when my condition hit I had to drop out of a massage therapy course because it required a practicum which means I needed to stand there and massage multiple clients to pass the course. I used to enjoy preparing and cooking a meal. I liked to draw by hand. I enjoy instruments but had to give away my drum kit. I want to play with my cat again. Grabbing a towel, jumping in the car, picking up my friends and drive to a lake to swim for the day. There is a lot that is out of my reach now, maybe too many things to list but there is still a lot to enjoy and be grateful for. edit: My environment is not as accessible as it could be either. It's been a challenge and still a work in progress to get the appropriate accessible features in place.
