Recovery is taking care of yourself and still you have setbacks. My mental health recovery is not without voices and hallucinations unfortunately.

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.

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.
