Prompt List: Recovery
Prompts dealing with various types of recovery in various stages and situations. A lot of them are angsty but what can I say.
***Possible trigger warning. Nothing is mentioned but I’m putting the warning here just in case since some could imply certain things.
“Asking for help doesn’t make you weak. It takes a certain kind of strength to accept your shortcomings.”
“You don’t have to feel like this for the rest of your life. There’s always recovery.”
“I don’t know what will be left of me if you take my pain and suffering away and that scares me. That’s why I don’t want to get better.”
“I wanted to get better. I tried to get better. But maybe I’m not meant to be better.”
“Recovery doesn’t mean you don’t still have bad days.”
“I don’t expect you to suddenly get better overnight. I know it takes time. I’m just asking you to try.”
“It’s okay if you’re not okay all the time.”
“What if there is nothing left of me but pain and suffering? If I lose that, then I will have nothing left.”
“You made a mistake. It spun out of your control. It happens, even to the best of us, but this doesn’t have to be how your story ends. You can change it.”
“I’m afraid of getting better. I’m afraid of losing this pain.”
“I don’t know if I want to get better. Some days I want to but…..”
“Is it so wrong for me to want to save you?”
“You may not believe me- I didn’t believe it when I heard it from others either- but it will get better.”
“I…..I don’t want to be this person anymore. Please help me. I’m ready this time.”
“When the urges hit, all your pretty words you’ve filled my head with lose their meaning.”
“I can’t imagine a life without this illness. I suppose that’s why I’ll never recover.”
“Will you help me get better?”
“I’m ready. I’m ready to change.”
“I’m not there yet, but I’m closer than I was yesterday.”
“I believe in you. I believe you can get better.”
“I’ll be with you every step of the way so don’t be afraid. I know you can do this.”
“You’re here so you can get better. You’re here so you can learn to live.”
“I don’t know what will be left of me if you take my pain and suffering away and that scares me. That’s why I don’t want to get better.”
“It’s okay if you’re not alright you know. You can be honest.”
