The Start of Real Recovery Begins

Start of Recovery

As this title suggests real recovery is finally beginning for me!

I got my appointment through the other day, I’ve finally been referred to the recovery team (secondary care). I’m super excited to start therapy and new beginnings.

I’ve come off antidepressants and I’m slowly feeling better. The withdrawal symptoms are slowly fading out, I was extremely agitated to begin with and lots of brain zaps now it’s not so much. This is the first time in 6 years I’ve not been on antidepressants so it’s a super scary journey for me.

I’ve also got a new job which I’m super excited to start, I’m going to be doing my dream job which is working as a care assistant working in a mental health hospital. The start of something amazing. I cannot wait!

I am honestly in such a better place these last couple of days, I just feel so much relief from getting a job! I haven’t really blogged much as I only really blog when I feel able to write good content. I don’t like to force my blog posts, which is why I never say how many tines I post a week or a month. It’s always going to depend on how I’m feeling.

I’m just so happy I finally feel like real recovery is beginning, I also accept that a long the way that relapses will happen as that is just life, it’s not perfect.

Thank you to everyone who continues to read my blog posts.

    I'm so happy to hear that things are getting better for you :) Coming off antidepressants isn't easy; it's also really scary and new! But it sounds like you're getting over the worst of it.

    Goodluck with your new job - I'm looking forward to reading more posts :)

    Congratulations on your new job, Hannah! You sound very compassionate, I'm sure you'll be great at it! Don't worry about blogging on a schedule, just do it when it feels right for you. I've been blogging for almost a year, and I've given myself permission to take it slow. I give you permission, too! lol
