Your thoughts ? Fifteen
A riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma.
That only the strong can surfive.
Recovery is taking care of yourself and still you have setbacks. My mental health recovery is not without voices and hallucinations unfortunately.
Taking care of yourself how?
Has your voices got lesser?
How do we solve the riddle
Recovery is a lot of things h m p Health mental and physical all in a balanced you
Only the ones that can see the big picture.
Can you? I can.
My self care routine: I personally take my medication daily, get out and take daily walks when I can, relax in a hot bath, and try to avoid stress/stressful people. That’s it!
When I was unmedicated I had command hallucinations and no insight into my illness. I was more delusional and was hearing voices nonstop! So yes I am better now on meds!
It’s more like one of those 1000 piece jigsaw puzzles. Some days you work on solving it more than others. Just try and put at least one piece into place every day or two and eventually you’ll get it solved. I’ve always found that taking care of the little things helps the big things take care of themselves.
Improving, getting better.
Living a life. Might be different. Might be similiar. It’s still living .
we should celebrate any improvement
It’s its own reward.
Big time…
I almost peed myself just now.
Being able to tackle things easier that made you stumble, than before.
Having a new set of coping tools
To be honest, I think it is still a work in progress, I mean recovery. That is.
I was gonna try to answer this for myself and got too sad at what I was typing.
Recovery might mean something different for everybody:
Someone might have the goal of returning to work, another might have the goal of enjoying hobbies again, and one simply might have the goal of being able to go outside with no symptoms.
…Whatever recovery means, it’s important to never lose sight of that goal.
