How can you enjoy the company of a mind that once tried to **** you?
When taste returned,
when color regained its verve,
when music became essential again,
when paintings again shared their meaning, and flowers grew back their smell,
when trees creaking in the early morning wind became a symphony again,
when the night sky spoke,
and my dreams no longer frightened,
and the future seemed not only possible but probable,
and the hope for a better tomorrow was not a fable to get me through the day but a promise, I forgave my mind for trying to **** me.
I went from wishing I’d stop breathing to being desperate for every breath.
I’ve never been more glad to be so desperate.

Sometimes getting the correct diagnosis and right balance of medications takes time. It took me 10 years. I’m welcoming a daughter in February. I never thought I’d be here. I’m glad that I am.
