my story living with mental illness

I had a panic attack this morning at the mental health day program that I go to. It was the first one in a long time. I'm thankful for a few things. 1. My friend's around me know when I'm having one and so they know when to get a staff member and 2. I'm thankful that I carry my prn anti anxiety medication with me everyday. Without those 2 things I'm not sure how the panic attack would have turned.

As every month goes by I start forgetting about the milestone that I've achieved. Yesterday made 7 months since my last psych ward discharge. Time has been going by so fast now. It feels like yesterday that I was celebrating my first month since the discharge.

I've got a bright future because I've finally found the career path for me but in order to get the certificate I must be a year free from a psych ward.
