This is great news, because you recognize it. I'm so glad to see you wanting a bit of kicking up your heals, but in a pleasant and safe way. It's something we all should endeavor to find too!

Great article.

If there has been any positives from my illness, it is that I have learned to just "live a little". Maybe the ability to live some is because when ill I have made such dramatic mistakes. Now in my healthy state, I can say just do it! Live a little.

This appears to be the dilemma, right? The medication that helps also dulls the senses. It's a difficult choice. All best as you struggle for balance.

You’re coming across as so lovable, Mat. Don’t be so hard on yourself 🫂 To get a balance between responsibility and stimulation for your spirit and soul is important too. You could maybe take yourself on a road trip to a bunch of places you’ve always wanted to see? You could try to enjoy all of it as much as you can- both the driving and the sightseeing. The clincher is of course that you planned, saved and costed it all out in a well thought through plan beforehand 😉. Then it could go in the journal as you analyse what works and what doesn’t for you?

You really present your reasonable suggestions well. I love the idea of analyzing what works and what doesn't. It seems obvious, but I'm not sure I always do it.

None of us always do it 😂 but that’s what’s so nice about swapping stories and good sources of help that we have found on our individual journeys to grow our collective knowledge and hopefully help each other and others too
