As someone that had a mental breakdown just over a year ago and ended up in a physiatric unit, I know that there is something that makes us tick and stay in the real world,
When I was taken in, what kept me going was my torts, I also did the tortoise trust course which I learnt from and enjoyed doing, I also did drawings (under supervision) for the other patients.
I was in all over Christmas and new year of 2009/2010,
Now the thing that keeps me going are my torts,my horse and my knowledge of reptiles, husbandry, disease, health, treatments.I wish I could say it's my kids but as yet I cannot, don't get me wrong I love them to bits but they were part of my breakdown, a boy of 16 a 5 and 6 year old, postnatal depression along with weight gain. I am not saying it was their fault, it was me that just could not deal with everything at once.
My partner and I are getting phone calls from the banks everyday sometimes up to 5 a day. But what the he'll.
Life is hard and you only get one shot at it, I lost my promotion at work to the
disease, but it was the best thing that happened to me.
So how do you guys carry on? What keeps you going from day to day..
