missitaliandiva and di, i am so happy you are both in this thread

sylvie thank you for your sweet message!

wrap is a sort of workbook-style recovery thing where you devise your own plan to maintain wellness. you write down what you are like when you are well, and daily/regular actions you need to do to be well; your 'wellness toolbox,' or things that help you stay well or help you when you are struggling; your triggers; what it looks/feels like when things start breaking down (usually at this stage you can tell something's wrong but others can't); what it looks/feels like when things are getting worse and others can tell something is wrong; and your crisis plan. your crisis plan can also be sort of an advanced medical directive in some states - you can dictate who you want to help you when you are in crisis, what treatments/medications/facilities, etc. you want and don't want, and what procedures you want to be followed in case you aren't able to make decisions for yourself. you can also put together a post-crisis plan for how to transition back to "normal."

i'm not at a point now where i feel like i need a crisis plan but i'm grateful to have it to help develop one. i do really love the first parts though - i've found the daily maintenance plan/keeping track of what i need to do to stay well and what my "warning signs" are to be EXTREMELY helpful, because i find that i forget a lot of those when i'm in the middle of stress.

this is the main wrap website: http://www.mentalhealthrecovery.com/wrap/
and here are some other useful sites in case you're interested
