Hi I’m so sorry to hear about your story. What kind of bad experience did you Have? 

[LittleSunshine]

I am out of that wave! Thank god. Throughout my journey I have not eaten well and have still gotten better. However, I will say that I started eating better recently and walking 5 miles a day and it has made a huge improvement in my mood and making it more consistent.

Did you experience bad cognition/memory problems?? Kind of like forgetting how to do things/converse with people how you used to? I feel like I'm forgetting how I was before this and am losing my personality :(( 

 

I read your story though and its really inspiring ! Thank you

Hey everyone!

Thought I'd give an update. I've been in a month long window. Sense of smell is back most of the time now and i'm laughing a lot more. My sleep this month has been great overall (6-8 hours nearly every night), minus the last few days. I have a sense I'll be in a wave soon, given my lack of sleep for the last few nights, but this window was one of the best i've had! In my window this month, I have found myself to be very emotional. I'm cycling through a lot very quickly, anger, sadness, nostalgia, happy. It's uncomfortable in a sense because I haven't felt a lot of these things for so long, but i'm trying to be grateful for it. 

 

Hope everyone is doing okay.

Yes. I was never great at conversing with people before, however, and I was on meds for so long that it's hard for me to know if that's just me or if it's from the meds. Social issues were what got me on them in the first place. My personality is coming back majorly. I felt like a shell for a long time.  However, cognition in memory, while improving, is still a struggle. I used to read all the time and research, but it's a little harder for me to retain and focus now.
