Abstract
What is mental health recovery? Is it about getting rid of symptoms? Is it about relationships? Or being able to get a job? When I look back at my recovery, I realize that for me it has been an ongoing process of growth and development. In the description that follows, I have tried to provide a sense of the journey I have been on. It may sound funny, but while I have experienced great difficulties due to mental ill health, and although I have had some pretty poor interactions with services, I would not change my journey. I think this is because I have had so many valuable experiences and learnt so much about myself along the way.
