Mental Health Recovery Checklist
I have used this self-evaluation tool for my chemically dependent clients but it can be used to help anyone to evaluate their life, show how far they are into recovery for any issue and shows how to take care of themselves. I have added on new items. During the times I lived my life in chaos, (we are talking many years), I was too busy "being chaotic" to remember to take care of myself and probably at the time didn't feel I was important enough to take care of myself. Being "sick" is a full-time job. Let's face it. I spent most of my time doing everything imaginable not to be abandoned, apologizing for my rages, and trying to put myself together enough to make it to work. The book Imbroglio: Rising to the Challenges of the Borderline Personality Disorder says "...the borderline appears always to function well, especially in professional or academic situations that are structured, supportive or both. Meanwhile she is binding her interior fragmentation with shoestrings, perhaps spending many, many hours crying hysterically or using self-destructive behaviors to cope." Will you begin to recover? Of course you will! You will if you are dedicated to recovery and seek out both medical and counseling assistance. I encourage you during your recovery process, to take this "test" at different intervals in your life To help you evaluate your recovery needs and/or progress, please rate yourself in each area. P. Fleener M.S.W.
