On your road to recovery, you will likely begin to notice an improvement in your mood. Being well enough to reconnect with friends and family and returning to work are also good indicators that you are progressing in your journey to recovery.
You will likely notice that your thinking is clearer and that you no longer feel completely overwhelmed.
Developing a self-management plan to keep you well and monitor signs of relapse can be helpful on your journey to recovery. Self-management plans are tailored for each individual.
