recovery

Your illness does not define you. It's your resolve to recover that does.

Responsibility Is Not Blame
There is a difference between blame and accountability, and learning that difference can be the difference between remaining trapped in the wreckage and reclaiming your life.

NARCISSISTS FORCE YOU INTO ALIGNMENT WITH GOD
There is an ancient mystery: if God is everything, where does the darkness belong? In the beginning, there was darkness—and God said, Let there be light. The universe itself seems to speak in this language: light and shadow, death and renewal, creation and dissolution. Even the yin-yang carries the paradox: each contains a seed of the other.

I Got My Health Back. Now I’m Learning To Trust My Body Again.
No matter the seriousness and magnitude of an illness (whether acute, a virus, an infection or unfortunately something on the right side of chronic), injury or other medical setback; of course the aim is to seek appropriate help, support, and medical attention as soon as possible. The aim is to focus on a full recovery and "get back into it." Unfortunately (the same is true with mental illness) capitalism (and this crazy, prolonged cost of living crisis) does not give two f*cks about your body, and vice versa. Recovery is never linear. It is never a straight line. Recovery isn't just the physical elements of being a soul who is living in a human body. It (recovery) is mental, and definitely emotional.

Introduction of Coping Skills Series
I have, personally, long felt the calling to write about mental health topics. In doing so, I wanted to help others who also struggle feel less alone, to motivate myself to practice coping skills and improve my own mental health, and to form a sense of community.

YOU DIED
There is something I believe a survivor eventually has to understand: You died. Not physically. You are breathing. You are here. That is the miracle.
