Under Construction - MHWA Retreat

Well the standard, dictionary definition of recovery is - actually Merriam Webster is updating on my phone now so forget that.
My definition of recovery? To get better from a certain low point(?) I honestly don’t know how to describe and/or define that- it seems so abstract!

I’m not sure what conditions I have either, considering I’ve never been to a mental health specialist or anything- if I self-diagnosed, I’d say mild anxiety and/or a self-(mis)perception thing. <- that there is why I dropped my cognitive science/psychology major I can’t diagnose myself.
Regardless- the anxiety, it’s recoverable. And very on-and-off, typically stress or nerve-induced. I almost cried today in happiness when my professor let me off the hook for Friday because I have stuff for a potential future position in childcare at ny home district, which is like, an hour’s drive from school
As for the second one, we’ll see. I’m cognizant of both how I perceive myself and the fact that I am consciously trying to control my body image, and for me, it’s not like my body is suffering from my actions, so we’ll see what happens in the future? I suppose it’s not exactly a problem for me at this point, but if I let it get out of hand, it could.

For those with the self-perception issue, I’d say be careful, since it’s very much a balancing act- it’s one thing to lose weight, and another to be unhealthily doing so, and that line is so blurry, that it’s all to easy to cross over and not know.
And with the anxiety, take it a step at a time, I guess. Do what you can, when you can. I got to play guitar for about an hour tonight, which was nice because I haven’t done that in a long while, and I felt good afterwards. :) so in that vein, pick up a new hobby you can do to destress or unfrazzle yourself when you’re feeling overwhelmed?
