When do you become officially no longer ill? This past two weeks I'm pretty sure I could classify myself as no longer ill. I've still got depression and might officially have it for quite a while. All of a sudden this past two weeks I feel like myself again. My bubbly character and cheerful disposition is beginning to come back to the forefront and life is starting to feel as it should!
My contract for my job is being terminated at the end of the month. It feels a bit silly to opt to do that when I'm feeling so much better. I guess it's hard to know when I go from feeling well when I'm around the house to being able to cope with the challenging profession that teaching is.
So what am I able to do? I can cook, clean, walk the dog and meet up with friends. Not exactly challenging activities. Now it's time to build up the activities to begin to get myself fit for work.
Am I fixed now? When I feel pretty normal with mundane day-to-day activities. The doctor certainly wouldn't agree. Do I have to be back to work to be considered cured? Will I be ill for a while after I'm back to work. I suppose the point in which I can be considered well again is when I'm coping with my job AND feeling like myself again.
I think that might take a little longer!
Patience is hard. I need to learn to just allow it to happen and allow my recovery to take all the time it needs. Easier said than done.
