Drove to see my Mum and Dad today, over 120 miles, for the first time since back surgery, am aching now, but worth every second....priceless

I made it through one week at my new job. Still haven't had to interact with real customers yet, so, being an introvert, I wonder how that's going to go down. Hopefully I don't screw it up and try to hide.

Thanks to a suggestion from 'Nobody' we are inviting people to post about their successes in their day to day battle with their mental health issues, no success is too small to celebrate.

NB: We ask that you do not reply in a negative way to posts, if you do your reply will be deleted.

We look foward to hearing your success stories.

Good luck!

Today I walked for an hour in a hot weather. I was sweating like a pig

Since stopping taking Mirtazipine for PTSD I have made no mistakes at work after making at least half a dozen every day. I KNEW it wasn't me... I am feeling much more human since stopping and the successes keep coming. Good luck to everyone else battling with meds :o)

Haven't had any suicidal thoughts for the past month since starting a new medication, and I feel like myself for the first time in a long time. Even though I still feel a little lost as to what the next step is, I'm a lot more optimistic for the future.

Been eating healthier - a lot of fruit such as strawberries and nectarines with next to no junk food - and starting to exercise more. This last week I went rock climbing in Yosemite (Mark Wellman is the first paraplegic to climb El Capitan , amazing guy, and has designed a special rig for the purpose) and cycled along the valley floor with a big group of us. Signing up for more volunteering gigs as well.

Haven't used in 10 or 12 hours. I know I can't keep it up and not driving myself crazy about that.

I'm going on the air in 40 minutes on my Online Radio show I started in order to live a childhood dream of mine.

I helped a stranger. Yesterday, while I was returning from walk, I saw a man's luggage fall from his vehicle. Immediately, I ran towards him and helped him to put it back in his vehicle. I also asked him if he needed any further help regarding this. He said that no more help was required and then I left that spot with a smile on my face.
