Here in the house tones of Mozart is playing all day, because a new family memeber entered the house today. A parakeet in light blue and grey she is so qute and very social. After just an hour in her new house she sat on the finger and she does it all the time. I guess she will get very tame, and she want out and fly in the room already.
I was to the city today and watched the boat festival and i thought it would be a good day to bring a parakeet home. It is good to have somebody to talk to when you are lonely and a pet brings much joy and happiness. Happy is her name and she loves humourous tones and happy music. She looks at me all the time when i talk to her. I sit in the living room and knitt, play music and talk to Happy.
I have also had two visitors today, my aunt and a friend of mine. We have stayed outside in the sun, it is fantastic weather here, so yeasterday i spent some hours with the dogs and my mother at a beach. It is good days here and i write on my books. And it seems like one is finished already next month.
I bought a new parfume also today and spent a lot of money today, but it was worth it. So today is to relax a new family member in the house and see how she reacts to music and people. She seems to think it is funnier here than in the pet store. I hope everything will work out good in taming Happy. But she is relaxed and make funny noice. So she seems to like it with us.
" New friends can come around everyday - invite them in youre life and be Happy. "

The Secret in Recovering from Schizophrenia
I have recovered from Schizophrenia in about 5 months. It was a litle bit hard work in the start because i got sendt to closed unit and was out of the unit for 1 month. I was in the start very upset and angry because they had me in closed unit. They took my sigarettes and i was on a regime for smoking. They also took my economy to my mother. I had managed my economy all my life and had my first job as 11 year old on a fish factory. In 2002 i graduated as a registered nurse, but dreamed about beeing a writer. I love writing and is very inventive and write novels and children novels. I wrote a children novel when my son was a child and read it every night to him and to sleep over guests. They love the book and it is about growing up next to nature. I have always been out in the nature a lot for smaller og bigger hiking trips. I have had horses, dogs, birds, cats and goldfishes. It has always happened a lot around me and i have had a great life next to nature and together with people and animals. It has therefore been very hard to have been in closed unit and not allowed to go out. I have been very highly functioning earlier in life and it seems to get back to me, and i am so happy. I have had a job offer in psyciatry and i have been asked to teach emploeys at the unit in how to treat psycotic people and to tell about what works and what dont work in treatment on psycosis. The first thing is to get stabilisation and be secure. I had to find that in myself. And when i was in closed unit i gave myself time. I thought : " It has to take as long as it take. " And not struggle to get home. Earlier hospitalisation of me i have not been fully recovered going back home, and to tell the truth i have hated to be hospitalisised. I have done all in my power to get home. The unit i have been on now is closed but is taking the patients out every day when they are out of isolation. I thought : " Now i have the time to write. " And i found a hobby i could do during isolation and i started working on a novel in january. I wrote all day and had coffe and sigarettes and ate very healthy. I allowed myself only to eat chocolate and drinking soda pop once a week. And i decided to be me again, and that is a very kind and smiling person. I decided to forgive everybody and forget about wrongs in the past. I have not had a psycolog this time so i have had to do the work all alone. After a litle while everybody started to treat me different. I changed totally back to the person i used to be.
The main reason i recovered is to find a hobby i love, been taking out on hiking and walking and doing exercise and not at least beeing together with the people i love. I realised i had to live life a bit slower than i used to do. But it is a life without complications and the total body get secure when life is happy and kind. I overloocked every single thing i reacted badly on before and looked at it as bagatells, just small insidents that dont need to be reacted on. I forgave and let go.
To work with hobbies give you the pleasure and stamina to go on in life even though things has been bad. And paranoia dissapeared fast. I managed to control my thoughts and use my common sense. People dont read youre thoughts and people are in general very kind to you if you are positive. Dont ever give up. I heared voices before, but stopped doing that for over a year ago. I have written about that earlier. But get a hobby, exercise and be kind. The enviroment around you change and then youre thinking change to. Life is so worth living and people have known that i hear voices and been kind to me anyway. It has never been a secret that i have heared voices. And now they are gone.
Have people around you that you care about, and forgive people you have " wrongs " against. It can end up in friendship again. Forgivness is really the main issue. To let go of anger, guilt and anxiety.
For me one thing has helped a lot and that is praying. I have in periodes praied to the Lord constantly. It took all my bad thoughts away and my life seem to work out well. And praying is kind. I prayed for my family, patients, people working in the unit, for friends and for myself. I forget a lot praying for myself but it seems to work out kind and good anyway. Life is so good living. I paint also and has been allowed in painting on my room. I use long time on the pictures and i pray when i paint and the last month a new painting tecnique has been growing in my hands. The pictures get better and better.
The key is to slow down and get goals and do them. But it has to be thing you enjoy doing. It can be hard at some days, but do the things anyway. I am totally changed in way of thinking, walking and intellectual i am highly functioning again. Dont be afraid if you take some steps back, but remember that most people heal from schizophrenia. Have good friends around you and keep a plan for youre life. I am proud about writing a good book in the middle of isolation and psycosis. The book is 2/3 finished and i love writing it.
I write a book also about experiencebased training to psycotic people to give them good hiking trips and to enjoy nature and exercise. I have gone down 17 kilos in only some months. It is totally secure that you also can recover from schizophrenia and that if you know somebody with psycosis, tell them all the time that they can get well. The line between a normal person and a psycotic person can sometimes be small. Dont be afraid of people in psycosis. Talk slowly and kind to them and let them know you care. Ask about things that has been good in life and give them feedback to get hobbies and it might end up in a job to that person with psycosis.
" Good Luck everybody - you can be 100 % recovered and maybe better than before :-) "

Cosy Day
Today i talked to the doctor and i am nearly signed out of the hospital unit. I am only in for one day a week and that is the hiking day. I am so happy to finally start all over again in a normal life. I went to see the appartment i am going to rent from 1. October 2014 and it was okay. Not big but i think i will have it cosy and comfortable there, it is only for 6 months until i buy something for myself. It lies next to a home for elder people and my grandma lives there, so i visited her today and she got so happy. She is 104 years old next month. And she gave me a gold neclace with a diamond on today. I got so happy and she is so kind and promised me that i should not visit her, she should visit me and take the walk every day to my appartment. I met former collegues today and i have not seen them for years, and i got hugged a lot and everybody remebered how it was to work together with me. It is good to see that life still is there and that people really cares about me and i care for them.
I went home and got visit of my dad and a friend of him, and we have been sitting in my kitchen and talked for a while together with my son. I have a really great day and i am working on finishing a book going to publisher next week. It is a book with over 365 quotes, one quote for every single day to make living easier when you suffer from illness, depression, anxiety or is having a crisis. It is to all people really and i have gotten good feedback on the book from several patients, so i hope it will work out.
Today it is blowing and raining and i have not had fatigue on 3 days and it is very healing i am totally recovered and is having a great life. I live the easy way and love every single day, and cant wait utnil i get neighbour to my grandma and get visits of her every single day. She is very kind and is like a best friend.
" A best friend can come to you every day. "

Not Homeless Anymore
Yesterday i got a phone from my doctor. I have gotten municipal appartment and it is ready for me from 1. October 2014. It is a cosy appartment and it is for 6 months until i buy something for myself. It was a relief to get the appartment and i think it will be okay. But it is a step moving from a big house to a litle appartment. But some things in life is not to be controled. I think i will have a great time in the appartment and recover fully there. I am about to buy a bike so i will do bikecycling a lot. Next year a car is upon the wishing list. So i can get wherever i want in short time.
The weather here is good, it is good temperature and i have been sitting out having morning coffe and a siagerette. It is all good here.
" Dont worry, things work out somehow ".
