How can I make recovering easier?

[SuicidalSymphonies]

Hi, everyone

Long time no chat.

As of recently I have been in recovery, fighting my way through life. It's now been two days since I lived through my canceled CTB date and for several months now, I have been finding recovery to be harder than expected.

Is there anything anyone specifically does to make this healing period at least a bit of a piece of cake?

Of course, having COVID19 around isn't helping with that as I am immunocompromised and shouldn't go out too much during the pandemic.

Want to shout out to @lunarpoppies420 for being there in a group call 2 days ago while my mind was a mess and I needed the support to stick around. xo

The old saying "Idle hands are the Devil's workshop" reflects the difficulty of dealing with inactivity. If there is anything you can keep yourself busy with, it may be helpful. Being overworked or hectic can bring its own problems like a depletion of energy. My sister found retirement from teaching to be a difficult transition, but she took up knitting baby clothes for abuse shelters and finds that her new level of activity works for her.

I have found healing comes in waves, each setback is a little less than the one before. Keeping busy seems to provide enough of a distraction so that over time one can see steady progress.

I'm very happy that you choose recovery
What is the hardest part of this process for you ? How do you feel in general? Could you tell something more about your recovery methods and how they works on you ?

i'm on my journey too all i can say is try your best to build up a healthy support system and find a purpose, even if it's for the next minute or hour or day it helps me a lot to do that
