Today, I feel normal…
.
Last night, I did not sleep too much or too little.
My thoughts are not excruciatingly slow or shockingly fast.
I feel motivated, but not in a grandiose “I am going to save the world” manner.
I’m not socially isolated nor am I obnoxiously bombarding friends and family with messages.
My self-esteem is not at an all-time low nor is it at an “I’m the best person ever” level.
.
I recognize myself, the way I was before my first episode.
.
For the first time in four years, I finally feel like myself again.

That’s wonderful!

I love this, and I’ve come to a similar place as well – this poem (?) resonates with me.
I hope you continue to feel better.

Thank you! I didn’t think of it as a poem… it is a paragraph from a longer post I wrote yesterday, but I guess I formatted it more like a poem? Oh well. Glad you liked it! 🙂

That’s why I put a question mark in parentheses after the word poem. Call it poetic prose then 🙂
