recovery

already well I wasn’t going to reply because I’m not in a very good space today but i thought fuck it actually I will

I’m glad you view yourself as 90% recovered but man the minute you think that it goes to shit I could say I’m 90% recovered as well but I still have the occasional pretty fckin bad day or week and then sometimes it just hangs out in one form or another for like a month or more or whatever so pretty much what I mean is I don’t think anyone is actually ever on track to recover fully from this shit you can just live your life symptom free for a period of time doesn’t mean you are recovered

Hey @ArraDreaming what you said just reminded me of the old days when I used to try and deny there was anything wrong with me while at the same time having a complete inability to function.

funny what shame and denial will do to you.

I think in terms of recovery it depends on what your health issue is. We know some health issues can not be cured but can be managed.
I do not like the word cured so I will use the word recovered. I prefer recovered because it’s more realistic and leave space for any emotional and mental scars.

you are right. Sometimes it’s not about being “cured”. More about getting better to the point where you still have bad times but those bad times are not all of the time, and those bad times can be more manageable and you can care for yourself more skilfully than before.

Hey Little Leopard. Don't let shame control what you have nothing to be shamed about. The negative emotions must be dispensed of during any recovery. My experience tells me that the negative stuff is what brings you bad days. Shame, guilt, embarrassment, harsh or critical judgements upon yourself, and many others serve to make you feel disorientated and confused about life. You are right, depending what your health issue is determines your path of recovery.

Hey Jay5. Every one of us are individuals and unique to ourselves. I not only live my life symptom free I also live my life in a way that is conducive to my values and beliefs. Trust me, full recovery is possible and attainable. Believe in yourself that you can achieve a full recovery. The bad days will disperse if you let yourself believe that a full recovery can occur.

Hey @wordman,

Just wanted to give you a heads up.... If you want to chat with someone you can tag them using the @ symbol. This way a notification can be sent to the other forum user. For example @Little_Leopard @ArraDreaming

When it is blue, it means that you have tagged them. Once you start writing after the @symbol, a drop down box gives you some guidance.

@Little_Leopard and @ArraDreaming, I believe @wordman has written to you above 😋
