Merry Christmas everyone! I’ve been struggling to find time to do much writing because of my family putting on constant parties, but I’ll try and finish my Christmas story by New Years Day.
I love Christmas!
I’ve had probably the best weekend since before my mental health took a downturn a few weeks ago. It sounds silly, but just being able to go a whole weekend without having a panic attack, without worrying constantly, and without hating myself feels like a real achievement to me.
I’m so happy, I can think about the future without panicking, and it feels like I can manage; nothing’s overwhelming anymore. I’ve been really motivated and everything, completely unlike what I was like before.
Unfortunately for me, it seems my mental health is inversely proportional to my physical health, and I’ve felt my CFS grow worse as I’ve otherwise recovered, but I can manage with this much better than I could cope with my mental health issues.
Oh, and as a sidenote, I’ve been upgraded to an established member on the forums! I don’t know what that means, or why I am one now, but I’m sure it’s good. I’ve noticed I can even downvote other posts, although I’m not sure why I’d ever need to do that, since this whole community has been really nice; it’s the only forum ever where I haven’t been banned within weeks by a corrupt moderator.
