Recovery & MH Duchess

Doing this for me and you to share my experiences of recovery and mental health challenges that I face on a daily basis, it’s better out than in!!!

A trying day after having a fight with a pothole! However a diagnosis of ADHD has given me hope that I can now get the right treatment and help me live positively and expel the negative coping strategies #addiction #medicationabuse #adhd #recovery #hope

Feeling disheartened at the mo after my latest relapse, heads just not in it and feeling a bit clueless and sorry for myself as to how I move forward 😥#RecoveryPosse #addictionisbrutal #messyhead #selfpity

[Recovery & MH Duchess @RecoveryDuchess]

Been quiet for a while just trying to keep my head in the game, managing mental illness and addiction is hard work, find it frustrating no end when people seem to think you get the addiction in check and everything else will be rosy! #addiction #mentalillness #recovery

@Jamierecoverist @sounddelivery @CollegeofLEROs Thank you 🙏🏻

We only have a daily reprieve, recovery is a full time job and accepting that has been difficult #RecoveryPosse #addiction #AddictionRecovery #odaat

been having a few issues since my last post, alcohol sneaking back in and pill usage increased, struggling with life overload I think so gone back to basics recovery wise, it’s important to ask for help, #justfortoday #mhmatters #addiction #keepitsimple #trusttheprocess

Here we go again, another relapse ffs #recoveryishardwork #keeptrying #addictionsucks #fuckaddiction

This was definately not my choice and still isn’t, the stigma needs changing it’s hard enough in recovery without having to deal with that too ❤️ #recovery #AddictionAwarenessWeek #theprinceandprincessofwales #mentalillness #addiction #dailybattle

Today, during #AddictionAwarenessWeek, I want to offer a message of support to those who are continuing to suffer.

I know this was not a choice. Recovery is possible.

Another day another relapse, I’m really not finding this easy 😔 #recovery #addiction #mentalhealth #alcohol

[Recovery & MH Duchess @RecoveryDuchess]

Support was more effective, a simple call or two from a care coordinator would maybe(not sure for certain) have stopped the situation escalating, surely it is better to prevent a crisis than manage it? #mentalillness #addiction #crisis #recovery

[Recovery & MH Duchess @RecoveryDuchess]

Been having a thought around the mental health service that I am open to but unfortunately are pretty ineffective. I have BPD, recurrent depression and addiction issues with alcohol and medication. I had an “incident” a couple of weeks ago where I was in crisis and

[Recovery & MH Duchess @RecoveryDuchess]

Ended up having to be located by the police and made to go to a&e for treatment which involved nurses, doctors and a psychiatrist as well as admin staff. I would be really interested to know the cost of this incident because I feel it may have well been prevented if the CMHT

Spent last night in a&e after taking an overdose, obviously I didn’t feel I needed to be there but the police thought different,question is I know it was an o/d but it wasn’t an attempt on my life more to calm a situation, where’s the line? #addiction #recovery #mentalhealth

[Recovery & MH Duchess @RecoveryDuchess]

Initially I was so embarrassed for people to see my scars from self harming but now it is what it is and they’re just part of me #selfharm #recovery #addiction #mentalhealthillness

Had a beautiful sea swim this evening, was stuck indoors all day and needed to lift my mood - it worked ❤️ #naturalhighs #recovery #mentalhealth #itsthelittlethings

[Recovery & MH Duchess @RecoveryDuchess]

Had a quiet couple of days trying to get myself back into recovery mode, thankfully I have amazing people around me which make it easier ❤️ #recovery #addiction #addictionawareness #MentalHealthAwareness

[Recovery & MH Duchess @RecoveryDuchess]

It’s good to let your guard down sometimes and be vulnerable, asking for help is no defeat however hard it is ❤️ #itsgoodtotalk #recovery #addiction #mentalhealthillness

I’ve done it again and used, have been obsessed the last couple of days and hit the fuck it button with my prescription meds, not sure where I go from here, I’m very sleepy at the mo, will try again tomorrow #relapse #addiction #MentalHealth
