Such a bitter sweet milestone my dear.

@Strawberryblonde - its great to hear you're in a more positive place :)

@Joe Cuber I'm ashamed to say I only have coors light in my fridge, water pretending to be beer lol the shame!! :P

@DeanD feel like something just switched and I feel like my old self, I just hope it sticks :) @hopefuldede thank you :) not a milestone anyone wants but one non the less, did not think I'd get through it at the beginning.

A weird day eh. Mines tomorrow. I'm trying to get my thoughts together about how I feel about it. Might do a journal entry to fully express myself. Weirdly enough I've hardly used it these past 6 months as I been doing mentally better too. I don't even want to read what I wrote at the start.

@SamRosemary it's forever stuck in my brain the day the morse code came and the loudness change. Its very weird ours is pretty much a day apart. I try not to go back and think of what happened then as much, I don't think it bodes well to dwell on the past. Could help you cope if that's what you need to do.

So glad to hear that you're doing better @Strawberryblonde! As much as it sucks to be here, for both of us I'm sure, I greatly appreciate your kind presence on TT :)

It's great to read you are doing better mentally, and I wish everything will keep improving for you!
It's a bit easier to feel better in Spring, right?

@PennyCat only us with T can truly understand what it's like living with this. We are all here to lift each other up in any way possible :)

Seriously the weather is playing its part in me feeling better too. Spring weather is only the start lol wonder how I will be feeling in the sunshine summer :) @RainbowCat

Glad to hear it Strawberry Did your distortions/reactivity improve since then too?

@TheCapybara I think they've lessened or the brain has gotten used to them. They still pop up and can be annoying sometimes. I just see it as my new normal now and try not to get my anxiety up about it. How's your distortions/reactivity.?

@Strawberryblonde I think my brain adapted over the span of a year too, and having less of an anxious stressed response to it helps. Still noticeable in music especially and shower and plenty else though, but like you said, that's just the new normal from here on.
