I'm heading out to my first therapy appointment. Wish me luck.

17. Mental health/recovery is a huge journey

You won’t notice any quick progress.

For me, after doing various treatment regimens for 4 years or so, I suddenly looked back at myself noticed that I didn’t feel all that bad anymore. I was excited about what my future could be and I was content with where I was life.

Stick with it, put it the work, and be as honest as you can with yourself and your treatment team.

Some days you will feel you’re just as hopeless as when you first started. Other days, you’ll be able to see progress.

From one stranger (with a heart) to another, I sincerely wish you the best of luck.
