I have new limits where sometimes in my past, because of my illness, i fear i had very few. Limits or 'boundaries' are lines we draw that say - yes, this safe; no this is not. Or things you will do or won't do. You will say and not say. You take care of yourself or lose sight. Such is one of fundamentals of challenges which face people with mental illness. What is too much and what is not enough.
While working in social work, i was against medication. Period. I saw mental illness through the lens of inexperience and arrogance (unlikely bedfellows?). Now i see it much differently.
