There is no such thing as being recovered

Ok peeps,

I have been seeing this idea more and more and it is starting to bother me so I thought I would post something short and quick. The idea is that someone can be a recovered or recovery bipolar or schizophrenic. Having a mental illness is not something that you can recover from or be in recovery from. Can you be stable, yes, but not recovered. You can recover from an addiction but a mental illness is not something that just stops or you can not have anymore. This is just my two cents and that is all I really wanted to say.

With Love,
BPT

  1. I more often hear it called in remission which sounds a little better. It's good to hear from you.
