Hey everybody

 

almost month 12, I feel almost healed.

 

Last week was almost perfect. It was not 100% because Im tired. If I sleep 7 hours I have almost perfect days, like 98%.

 

I still have one or another moments in the day I feel Im not well. Sometimes I still have some intrusives, and things with memory particularly give me this. Ive papssed my acute in my family house. When Im there I observe my thoughts and sometimes similar thoughts from acute can occur. Or I have flashes of being completly sick.

 

Things like this. I have some memories when I go to the places I visit.

 

So What I do is force my slef going to these places and being there, until I feel my self normal again.

 

Last week I didnt have morbid thoughts (ok, one or another, but rare). Im veru happy for this.

 

Im tired and still have a litle brain fog and food sensitivity.

 

I hope this continues until Im fully healed. I dont have a strong wave for 6 months so I hope nothing will appear now. Everything is fading.

 

Im going to wait 1 or 2 months when I feel me 100% before writting my sucess story, but I hope it wil be in the next months.

This is wonderful!  I've followed many of your posts over the past few months, and it's been very encouraging to see the great progress in recent weeks. 

 

Thanks for documenting this all so carefully.  I have the same mental/psychological sxs, and it sometimes feels permanent.  It good to see someone with the same situation healing so well.

 

You're almost there!

Fantastic news! In my first week of month 11. Everyday getting many hours feeling good but still getting daily waves for a couple hours. Hopefully the last problematic sx goes away soon!
