hi, its been a good long time since i was on this site now, i've been doing a bit better. i've been seeing a counsellor once a week that actually listens to me, my mam has changed, well for the moment she has anyway, she has really gotten into cleaning the house. i've been on the lexapro 6 months now and i definitely feel bit better, well i dont feel comfortable saying that, its more like i dont feel as bad as i did before. where there was a time when everything was bad all the time, now sometimes things are good and sometimes they are bad, its just not always bad which is quite a relief. i don't feel as anxious about situations and i don't feel like crawling under my bed covers every single day and staying there because its just so hard to go outside. there are still bad days but i dont feel them as much, its not as extreme as saying ive been numbed to the situations, mmore like i've stopped going from one extreme to the next, dwelling on all the bad things that happen to me and willing myself to feel bad all the time. i've started keeping a journal which has really helped, sometimes u just need to get r feelings out n putting them down on paper makes them real, it validates the feelings that u are having n validates u. i still havent developed that much with the socially awkwardness n i know thats gona take some time, prob a lot of time and sometimes that can really get me down but i dont feel it as much which i really owe to the medication. its so great not to have to feel that pain anymore. feedback appreciated, hope u have all been doing well
