We need to redefine recovery from “becoming neurotypical” to “learning to live a good life with a mental illness” cause in many cases the chase for the first gets in the way of the second.

Recovery doesn’t always mean “doesn’t have a mental illness anymore” - it can also mean:

Learning to cope with your symptoms in a healthy and constructive way.

Getting the accommodations and support that allows you to live with the impairments of your mental illness.

Learning to live a happy, fulfilling life despite your symptoms.

Knowing your limits and triggers and adjusting your life accordingly.

Learning to take care of your physical, mental and emotional health.

Learning to live with symptoms without having them control your life.

Finding and sticking to treatments that work for you.

Accepting and learning that even though you may not be able to live a “normal” life, you can still have a good life.

Many of us can’t expect the full recovery that we are told to strive towards, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t get better or that we shouldn’t work towards getting better, and it’s important that the language around mental illness and recovery reflects that.

Self care isn’t always pretty , it’s not always candles and a bathtub full of roses , sometimes it’s forcing yourself to get out of bed and dragging yourself , sometimes it’s the pep talk you give to yourself or the quick cry in the corner . sometimes it is convincing yourself to do all these things you should be doing but you have no will whatsoever , sometimes it’s cutting some ties no matter how precious they were , sometimes it’s the bitter medicine you need to give yourself . Self care isn’t always pretty but it’s so worth it .

the pressure put on women to be young, attractive, and successful all at once is fucking ridiculous, you got women in their late teens and early twenties convinced that their lives are over because they don’t have a successful career and a romantic partner…a woman’s value is not in how successful she is or whether or not she has a romantic partner. there are no deadlines for life achievements, women don’t have to become successful when they’re young. women are not limited by their age, and a woman certainly is not a failure for not having either (or both) a successful career and a romantic partner when she is just starting to live her life!
