You are an inspiration.
Thank you so much! That is exactly what happened. I feel so much better about it now. I cried yesterday when I was talking to the surgeon and he just hugged me and told me that it is normal to have some water retention. What a great doctor he is!
An inspiration? Wow. Thank you so much for saying that. It is not something I think about regarding myself. My mom said this to me this morning. My mom and my therapist said to me during our session today that I really need to begin to write my story. They think that someone might benefit by reading my story of my journey towards health through weight loss and my journey towards recovery concerning my schizophrenia.
My therapist told my mom and me that if she had not been with me throughout the last 6 years should would never know that I have schizophrenia. That made my day. I spent so much of my life hearing voices and all of that that to now have no symptoms at all is just the greatest feeling. I love my psychiatric team that cares for me and I am so thankful for the meds that make me normal.
