Thinking about recovery

[ddd1234]

I was sent to the psych ward by my family two weeks ago, and one thought came to my mind recently. Maybe I should give a try and recover? Anyone had the same feeling?

The choice between recovery and ending one's life is deeply personal, so no one else can make that choice for you. Having said that, I would advise you to try recovery if you don't see any insurmountable obstacles in your life going forward.

Ending you life is an option that you can always fall back on.

The people I still know from the hospitals I've enjoyed are all still alive (except one). Recovery is a real option for a lot of people, and it's worth a serious shot if you have doubts.

Personally, I've been in recovery for nearly 20 years and look at me now, posting on SS, waiting on the mail.

Yes, why not? Just experience with things around. If you like it, its ok. If not, come back here, everything is available. Wish you all the best! Much love <3

Depending on what got you to this point, recovery can be a very difficult process. For me, I suffered a lot of emotional abuse as a child, and I just stuffed all my feelings deep down where I would never have to think about them again.

Recovery involves pulling them all out to deal with them. At some points, it was harder than the original abuse. I'm still not to a point where I can say I'm mentally healthy.

Best of luck to you. There is no easy way to sort through the amount of trauma it takes for one to seriously consider ending their own life.

Hey there. It's up to you and depending how you feel now all things considered. I'm going through a phase right now which is taking a fucking lot to even accept let alone try and I don't know how long it'll last me before I fail again, but I'm going to try. One thing that's kinda helping push through the darkness and despite the bullshit I went through is that I'm telling myself that I have nothing to lose at this point in my life cause if you feel like you already lost at life and ready to die then what more is there to lose? I know this is different for everyone but still.

I don't but I am happy for you. I wish you the best

Recovery means different things to different people. Personally, I hate that term. I can't get rid of C-PTSD, all I can do is focus on the stuff that's worth staying alive for & keep on fighting/managing my disorder.

We get many chances to try recovery with many disappointments but if we are disappointed we can try again. We can get many chances at suicide with many risks of damage to ourselves if we don't die, we don't get a second chance if we die. While it's our choice but in my opinion if life could get good try recovery.

Yep, I often have difficulty trying to figure out just what recovery is supposed to be. I've been around others who consider themselves recovered or in the process but I never thought of myself as being in recovery because my troubles seem endless. Management is all that seems available to me.

Let me add to what I said. Recovery isnt necessarily 100% wonderful or happy. There may be obstacles in the form of pain , depression, ptsd, illness etc. But there may be episodes and rewards from many places that intermingle with the awfulness and make it possible to get going. All or nothing is like a thermoneter with two degrees zero or 100, while most of life is zero to 100 with 99 degrees in between that we can measure by.

Recovery is necessarily not 100% wonderful. There will be many obstacles. Rosy-eyed optimism is the enemy of recovery, only a realistic approach to it works in the long run.

Of course.
