Here’s what I’ve learned during the last 44 years: I’ve leaned that I had to take meds. I didn’t want to and resisted it for a couple of years. That just hastened my recovery. I learned about recovery and how to apply it to my life. I learned to have hope. Things can get better I learned. I learned about empowerment. I learned about the importance in making my own choices again. I learned about finding a purpose in life. I learned about self responsibility for my recovery. I learned about educating myself about Sz. I learned that someone else can’t fix me but that I can listen to others advice and fix myself.
All these things happened to me when I made the choice to take an active role in my recovery.
I also learned the importance of a holistic approach to recovery. That is sleep, diet and exercise is crucial. I love dance, music and journaling. I use all these on a daily basis for myi recovery process to continue.
Very good that you are doing things like dance. I would love to learn dance its always been something ive wanted to do.
Im learning that with illness, disability i can’t put too much pressure on myself. I need to be least stressed because i simply cannot deal with stress that regular people can. I am super sensitive to stress so i live very basic because its what i can live being like that. Ive tried work and studying etc but i don’t cope under pressure
I’ve learned to respect anybody’s recovery in any way it is. From the smallest recovery to the biggest recovery. And I’m learning to overcome my fear of the hardship of the recovery process. I want everything so easy. But I’ve learned to be encouraged by others.
