I have been here years but changed name recently.
After a whole year I have been discharged from the mental health services! I am a nurse who has struggled massively even prior to covid however the pandemic stuff tipped me massively over the edge. I have been off sick for 3 months but have managed to get back to work and after a year of therapy (I was diagnosed with severe anxiety, moderate depression, intrusive thoughts, ocd type behaviours) I have been discharged today!! Of course it’s not the end of the battle and I think it’ll always be there. But I am trying to be kinder to myself from now on, and I just wanted to tell someone that I am actually proud of myself for once!
