I am grateful for my mum, my brother and also my doctor. I am even grateful for one of the bosses I have had.
I am grateful for my mum because she stuck by me like a rock in my periods of highest difficulty. I would always have someone I could call and they would talk with me super sweetly and try to help. She was super involved with my treatment medically and also helped my monetarily heaps. Now, I am better and she wants me to do many things like live a normal life (like getting up early and other things). But, that does not discount all that she did for me when I needed it most.
I am grateful for my brother because He supported me right through childhood and was an awesome friend! When I have going through depression, He was almost the only person who knew and he supported me super nicely. Now, he has a family and remains mostly involved with that. But he will always have a place in my heart, always.
My psychiatrist was also awesome. I do not see him now. He was super interested in my getting better. He went through so many different tries with me to find something that I would be happy taking, medicine wise. Even when I was ill, and not able to think clearly, when I would ask for my meds to be reduced because the side-effects were too difficult, He would many times agree. If I was too sick he would put me in the hospital, but even when I was clearly unwell but still ok to manage, he would listen to my requests and adjust my meds. I am super thankful for him. He stuck with me for 7 years and invested so much time in my recovery.
Finally, my boss. I was very lucky to have a boss who was super adjusting and accomodating. He allowed me to work for him for a long time and was very kind and one of the first jobs that I lasted a long time. I told him about my illness many months later, but he was super cool with it and just took it as something that happened; he was a genrenal practicitioner. I was even admitted to the hospital and he knew and he still called me back to work after I came out. He was definitely pivotal in me feeling that I can work in the society!
Thank you to all these awesome people!! And that you to Alessandra for making this post!!
