Jan is doing very well. He is finishing his thesis and from September onwards he has to do a internship for half a year. Then he’ll graduate as a doctor. This is the last time an account of this treatment will be given. The distance treatment is finished.
.My life has significantly improved. There is more peace and quiet and confidence in my life. I have more zest for life. Most days go off well. There’s a huge difference compared to three years ago, when most days were difficult and when I used to be depressed. Before I used to do the same things with distaste. Now I do things with enthusiasm. The same tasks are easier to do now.
I’m confident and I’m positive about the thesis I have to make. Before I would have feared it wouldn’t be good and I would have thought I was too stupid to do it well.
.My expectations have become predominantly positive, I’m more optimistic, I’m more confident that I will actually succeed, I’ve got courage. If negative thoughts crop up once more, they pass quickly.
.I’ve become confident in dealing with new situations. I’m confident I’ll solve the problem. I’ve clearly become more flexible, I can adjust to new things very easily. I’m clearly less stressed about learning new skills..I can think more clearly and my memory has still further improved. I can understand and apply new and complex subjects more quickly. I can remember and apply newly learnt skills straight away.
. I’m no longer depressed and exhausted during and after the night shifts. I had great difficulty to stay awake and to do the work. I had great difficulty thinking or dealing with a problem. This is no longer the case. Now I can work a second shift without sleeping. I can work the evening shift and the night shift one after the other, without any problem. Before I had great difficulty working around 4 o’clock in the morning during the night shift. Now the night shift passes by smoothly, even if it is immediately preceded by an evening shift. Before I felt completely washed out even after a normal service. When I came home after an evening shift, I slept badly during the day and I was depressed when I woke up. Now I sleep very well after an evening shift and I have more energy when I wake up. I feel well then and I feel like doing things.
. The contact with my sisters has become very enjoyable. Before my sisters were good friends and I was on the outside. Now the contact among the three of us is very pleasant.
. I rarely have problems with colleagues at work anymore. I have become very flexible. I can adapt very quickly, I can very quickly switch to a different job, without any more irritation or reluctance. I used to have the feeling that I didn’t fit in during the night shift I, this is no longer the case. I no longer feel an outsider in other groups either. I feel part of the group and I can join in the fun.
. I feel much stronger among other people. I’m good at leading group conversations. I succeed well in intervening in a conversation and I’m able to steer the conversation in the right direction.
. I take more responsibility instead of opting for a position of dependence or instead of standing aside of it. Before, when someone else was in charge, I used to shift to a dependent position and I no longer took initiative. Now this is different.. Little by little I feel more love for other people.
. Dealing with women is no longer an issue, I no longer have to prove myself towards a woman. I feel at ease with women.
. I used to wake up early in the morning when I was worried about something. This no longer occurs. Before I used to be worn out when waking up, as if I hadn’t slept at all. Now I wake up feeling fit.
. I’m less impatient, I get less angry when something doesn’t go my way. I deal with a situation and I can again settle. I used to have an urge to smash something whenever something didn’t go my way. That tendency is gone.
. I’m less close-mouthed, I’m better at expressing myself, with women as well.
. I’m better at making decisions.
. I’m no longer sensitive to the cold. I weigh 88 kg now, whereas my weight never rose above 80 kg before.
