I got 8 months

@Unloveable l am here if you need to talk about things you sound annoyed about this as you said nothing has changed

I just can't go back to living in that black hole again

@Unloveable seems to me it was really hard for you before

Yes it was. I wasn't living in was existing. I have spent the last 8 months slowly clawing some semblance of a life back. I don't have much back its been 2 forward 1 1/2 back but now feel like all of the gains have been lost.

Its a test maybe, but feel for you. How's ya diet - Are you eating properly? Has your stress levels spiked? (that always does it for me), its hard to know why but it was I big relief the day I realised I don't kave to understand why to get through it. At doubt very much this will last, it won't. Hang in there, keep talking xox

@Former-Member my stress levels have been huge for the last 4 months and this week I received notice that I had a date for mediation for my workers comp case. It's something I have been dealing with for nearly 8 years and the end is nearly here. I don't if you'd call that more stress. And my diet, well that has always been so so. I have comfort eaten for so long I actually feel physically sick if I don't.

@Unloveable. What a hard time you're having. Yes you have been taking your meds and going to group and doing what you need to - & it has paid off.
But just now - the stress is building up due to your compensation case. That would be enough to make anyone a bit 'wobbly' again.
Have you spoken to your psychiatrist or psychologist - about your stress levels building up?
They may simply need to modify your meds slightly - for a short while - or teach you some new coping techniques.
This is likely to be a temporary 'hiccup' in your healing journey. Once this extra stress goes - you should be feeling stronger again.
I've struggled with Workcover for 2 & 1/2 years now. It does add so much extra stress to my life - that I just don't need.
But like you, I have also felt a lot better since mid last year.
Try not to let this extra stress overwhelm you or knock your confidence. Check in with your mental health team & get a little extra assistance to help you during this time. And I'm sure you will back on track really soon.
Wishing you all the best.
