Trying to recover

Health and Recovery

Im having relapse dreams. I’ve had the third one this month last night. Trying to reconcile my new ageyness with being diagnosed. How do I do this? I grew up half my life medication resistant. Im not easily domesticated. In fact I think its impossible. I could live in a cabin in the woods hehe.

All the fluff that used to help me no longer serves to balance the equation. Asked if I thought I needed to be hospitalized, but said she didn’t think I seemed to be in bad enough a place to need it.

I wish there were like some kind of middle ground, like a retreat I could go on that would heal me from the psychosis or schizophrenia so it doesnt get worse. Im scared of it getting worse. Right now Im open to intervention.

My experience is that most retreats are inaccessible for schizophrenics.

When they hear your diagnosis your uninvited.

New age people aren’t as open minded as you think.

Ok, so then maybe i am making the right decision on moving into a more peer recovery oriented program.

Do you have a pdoc that you see?

They should be able to guide you to the resources that are available in your local community.

I take vitamins and use essential oils. I like them but aromatherapy won’t cure my sz. It might uplift my mood for a bit.

If you don’t have money, these are simply too expensive and a comfort expense.

Focus on the essentials.

I just wanted to offer my best for you. I’ve never been on a retreat other than a bunch of visits to the psych ward. I’m not sure if my paranoia would allow me to relax? Once again, my best wishes to you :blush:
