What Do You Think Of Being Mental Healthy As We Can Be Vs 'recovery'?

I am glad @brat17 , you deserve to be kind to yourself. That sonds infinitely more healthy & less pressured. :tup:

I guess it is hard to define 'recovery' if something is incurable. In that regard one needs to have a different mindset. I don't feel that enthralled with 'managed' or 'controlled', but certainly unmanaged or uncontroled is disastrous. Maybe managed-&-happiness- &-peace-is-still-possible sounds better?

ETA, I'm trying to 'think' of positive emotions, feel it, & go from there. It seems to work better for me than the other way around, of changing the thoughts first. Sort of 'act as if', but more like 'feel as if', followed by 'do as if'.

Junebug, thank you so much, but I dont feel like I am deserving and I do not mean to say I have this mastered at all. What I meant to do was to paraphrase where I would like to be, as I do not see the return of myself in the future, so I am to the point of imagining the reinvention. Hopes to accept the reinvention. The new me is very opposite, somewhat introvert, disorganized, low energy, etc. I would be willing to just be happy with this if that is possible. Does that make any sense? Maybe I was never who I thought I was anyway, maybe it was a crazy figment of my imagination. LOL
Hope this posts as Brat because some of my posts are coming up annonymous with different name???

Just thinking out loud and looking for opinions. I'm all for mental health recovery- or so I thought (bea...

I have accepted it as me. Just like I have accepted me as bi, that I am short, or that I look like a teen even though I'm 22. It is a part of me. It is what makes me, me. I just keep my head up as best as I can and try to be optimistic about it.
