The key is…
I’m trying to stay positive but every day is difficult for me.
It seems that the key for true recovery is…
effort
consistency
time
Facing fears little by little every day. Time is the worst part of it all. The uncertainty of life is also scary. I wish I had a little room to recover my health and wellness safely, for as long as I needed, then I could pop back into the world, normal, ready. However things don’t work this way.
I used to be a happy and joyful person naturally. It comes harder to me now. But I don’t want to give up…
I would love to hear recovery and success stories.

I agree with you 💚
What led to healing for me was small, consistent steps
Working on my mental health daily.
Not letting things escalate.
Or go unchecked 💚
For me, I think people have been the key for me 💙
I'm actually kind of lucky to be alive. A long time ago, I was sent to the hospital because they found out about an attempt. That week I had a cold, but there would have been another (possibly final) one if I hadn't been sick.
They sent me to a group outpatient program afterwards. Being surrounded by people who supported me and wanted me there really fixed something in me 💙
I began to find more people like that to have in my life afterward, people I actually enjoyed being around. For me, they were the difference between a life worth living and a life I was better off without.
I'm glad to hear that you've been recovering 💙 posting this was really thoughtful of you
