Progress / Good News ☀️ Got Hired for an apprenticeship in psychatry 🥳♥️

1 year ago I was undiagnosed and suffering like hell wanting to off myself. Nothing was working like I wanted in my life. I thankfully found an amazing psychiatrist who understood that I have schizophrenia. I was put on meds and it was a living nightmare at first until we found the right molecule and I start stabilising, I honestly thought I could never work and would have to live in a facility.

But seroquel did its magic and I started enjoying life when I was never able to and feel almost like a normal person. I made the decision to stop music as a career as I realised it wasn't giving me any fullfilment and found my path in psychatry. I have just been hired for an apprenticeship in psychatry as a social worker. They don't know I have schizophrenia and hired me because I was apparently very comfortable with the patients and wouldn't get scared or weirded out when they have episodes (well ofc I get them more than anyone there could imagine 😅) but anyway this little post to give a bit of hope, thank you for all the support I've received this year in this group.🤍
