For the first time in my life i've not had my own brain screaming at me, 24/7, deafening my inner voice with chaotic noise.

I can think. I can maintain a single strand of thought, then act on it. I can think, feel appropriate impulse, then "do" based on that impulse without it being out competed by the noise of random impulsive dopamine sparks.

I'm the same, my emotions are the same, but there's more control. My brain isn't "hunting" for stimulation.

I've been in therapy for 10 years too.
