Ground Rule #2: Keep taking your meds and keep seeing your doctor and/or therapist. Here’s another excerpt from my new book Practicing Mental Illness (you can pre-order it here): I maintain, and insist, that meditation, movement and meaningful work are adjunct therapies. I believe they are absolutely necessary to manage mental illness, so in this sense one may think of them as primary. I just don’t want to imply that they will replace medication and psychotherapy.
Yes adjunct therapies. And yes meds and traditional therapy. I’ve been there with suicide and I’ve been there with hopelessness. Think you hit on some key points of wellness here. I’m feeling a little more positive, thank you. Getting back to a regular meditation practice is top of my list.
