Final Session - Significant changes

  I'm talking about the combined of the few sessions I joined in that imh has went thru seriousness to help us peers using online, electronics devices & with HUMONGOUS HEART to bind us together for such sessions & I can see that the participating,, seriousness levels & indept on the issues has been improving through the weekly conference or the WhatsApp. It has elevated from just a superficial levels to a more engaging on MI.

  I'm talking from the day I joined till now, I've made humongous progress on Peer to Peer relationship. In fact, I had learned more on my symptoms which were not mentioned to me previously. I started to gained more insights about my conditions.

  (contd).... (2) I am also weathering a depression relapse but it is not breaking nor crippling me this time. I can still function and work. I attribute this to the friends that I have met in RWS, their kindness and moral support are like pillars of strengths that enable me to deal with my pain and daily struggles.

  (1) I can deal with anxiety triggers a lot better now, and I take shorter time to recover from an anxiety episode (from 48 hours to a few hours). I attribute these improvements to RWS from which I learn many important self care methods, new coping skills, and how to formulate my own care plans for my various conditions (to be contd)

  I guess gaining some really really valuable friends that are super supportive and slightly more confidence in myself. And instead of inaction and staying rooted where I am I am slowly but surely inching forward bit by bit.

  Sorry to say, I feel I was not putting in my full heart in it, and I constantly have doubts and also negative thinking about myself and society pertaining to my past experiences.

  Better understanding of people with mental illness like myself

  i found that i was not alone and this brought me comfort.

  I picked up the courage to face my fear of health screening and taking medication. Glad that I did it and now I am at the other side of Fear. It really feels great when you have conquered fear and you can do it too!

  I felt I was much more positive, albeit my confidence issue still held me back in attempting things. I know I might have potential to do much better in my life, but fear and self-doubt keeps holding me back. And it is a terrible feeling to feel trapped all the time.
