Get a job. Go to work everyday. Take supplements. Listen to music. I’m getting obviously better and less vegetative by such.

Taking walks and hikes. Eating fruits. Reading CBT books and doing the exercises. Reading any other books that help me. Reading poetry. Reading magazines. Watching tv shows I like. Talking to my beloved cat who really listens to me and understands me. Writing poetry and journaling. Writing down quotations and things from books that are helpful and inspirational. Communing and communicating with nature and “animals”. Avoiding taking medication or any harmful medical treatment. Talking to my therapist when I need to. Driving my “new” red Hyundai accent everywhere! Wearing perfume and clothes I like. Work at ignoring my mother’s criticisms, judgments, and self-righteous attitudes and words to me. Being a poet! Being a Cowgirl. Being magical. Being intuitive and trusting my “gut.” Posting on this great forum. Being a gypsy. Listening to Country-Western music. Being Country. Wearing my cowboy boots and Keds. Remembering my beloved sister. Being fire. Sitting and acknowledging the Sun and Sunshine in my life. Trying to keep out the harmful thinking. Staying optimistic, exuberant, fiery. BEING ME AND MYSELF ABOVE ALL ELSE BECUASE BEING TRUE TO ONE’S SELF IS THE ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL KEY TO HEALTH, WELL-BEING, PEACE OF MIND AND RECOVERY!!! Take care Y’all out there!
I try to practice a wholesome self nurturing. I pay attention to nutrition and try to exercise.
Since sz is though to be caused by both gens and the environment of people, we have to have a good time always, because stress triggers breakdowns, and also by not switching meds if they work for us, something I didn’t do! That’s why my meds don’t work 100% now, as they used in the past. Be careful guys and girls!

Congratulations on that. It’s NOT easy. Getting a better hold on reality After the all the years of self medicating is so hard to do.
I hope your doing better.
There are some days that are harder then others… but I’ve been clean and sober for 6 years. The first three years were so hard.
I attack…
I hibernate at first, take meds, go for anything my nurse/psych offers, at the moment I’m tackling the worry element that causes me to return to delusions at times of threat/stress. At the moment I’m still hibernating, I know it’s bad I’ve got to decide soon how I’m going to return into the world. I’m just so terrified to step out of the door. That it’ll getbad again but I’ll risk it, I’m on a higher dose of meds, I’m doing grounding, mindfulness, the worry work, and challenging. Its hard but I persist. I gave up a bit a go, but I’m back again, and I’ll carry on.
Take care,
Meg.

One way I try to recover is get plenty of sleep. When I’m relapsing I don’t sleep for a few days then when I finally crashed I slept for like two days. I try to drink less caffeine and eat less junk food.

think about others, try not to internalise, distract yourself as much as you can with nice things you enjoy, surround yourself with things that you like and will cheer you up. if you feel able to do something then try it, look at the positives of any situation, listen to ni ce calming music, treat yourself, rewards
