Another brain stimulating question. Most definitely yes I have and in so many ways. I think the thing that stands out the most is my attitude and outlook on life. I hope that they have matured, I believe they have. I am not as angry nor do I explode as frequently. My vision tainted from my mental illness has sharpened and resulted in a strength that carries me through. By no means am I better but in five years time there has been noticeable changes. I feel okay to be me, to show my true colors. I also do not feel the need to always have a sob story to tell, my pain I carry with me daily can be silent and I can smile. It's allowed now and in a much different way then the front I used to put up. Perhaps this sounds silly, I am trying to just type and think less lately.
