Healing Process - Building Resilience

  To strengthen resilience during recovery, it is necessary to have a care plan in place. Triggers should be avoided as much as possible, coping strategies should be developed, always dwell on positivity and constantly bear in mind that every setback is a setup for a comeback. Be open to seek help from a network of support system which is very important.

  Ultimately Resilience is the realisation that life is not perfect but what you do is what you get. My dad's teaching of hard work. His theory is the char kway teow uncle drive Mercedes. Education is not the only thing that ensures success. We need a go-getter attitude.

  To strengthen resilience, interestingly, Resilience is never mentioned in my era or my parent's era. I did a study because we were occupied with survival. Really basic survival. Housing, education, money to pay the bills. etc. Now how do we turn the clock back? we don't and we can't but we can stop painting such an ideal picture of a job, family, education, lifestyle. But bring back more EQ training at playground rather than IQ training at tuition centre. to be continued...

  Keep in contact with family,outings with family ,friends and contact through phone . Self care and love yourself and treat yourself like you treat your best friend .

  Take med (for some), watch out for symptoms (worsen?), be with positive people, do positive activities and stay close connected with friends and family members. And lastly for me, a religion to stay on the right healing path.

  Confidence about recovery and knowledge about the bottle necks to be faced on the process.

  Ask for professional (occupation threay or doctor) help

  Self-care, self-awareness, coping strategies, positive attitude, trust, support, aware that you are not just your illness.

  Daily to be self aware of mood, stress level and well being, apply self care when necessary, strong support network, manage triggers, have coping strategies, stay positive

  Live one day at a time. Go do something enjoyable every day even though you may not feel up to it. Exercise and eat healthy.

  By trying to remain as positive as I can & celebrate the small victories along the way

  during the recovery process, watch out for worsening symptoms, we should progress positively in recovery, however should symptoms worsens, pay attention and apply coping strategies and methods, work together with family members and clinical professionals to prevent a relapse at all cost.

  Recognize and Accept that setbacks are part of the recovery process.
