Hi
my first week was orientation and now into the second week there is some form taking shape. I feel excited and noticing discipline and motivation are coming back after some years of too strong medication.

Yes it is definitely good to feel as if you are moving forward again which builds confidence after years of stagnation on the wrongly prescribed medications that set you back. Happy to see a positive and connecting in peer work support.

Thank you! I did Information Science postgrad but after Covid I was treated assertively in the community mental health space so all facets of my life plummeted including misdiagnosis and overly medicated interventions. Thankfully today I look beyond the harm to being the best version of myself and making sure I don’t perpetuate that sort of professional ignorance from infiltrating my own recovery.

Thank you! Taken time but now onwards and upwards. I needed to just drop the past and let it go. It is possible to do with the right supports and self-compassion (advocacy too).
