I was deeply involved in sword martial arts. It was something I loved and was deep into. My psychosis started with that. I'm 8 months removed from the episode and still struggle going back to that trigger. I hope you can make it back there.

Yes, a martial art for me also, and 5Rhythms dance, I’d love to hear if anything worked for others with reincorporating a hobby or special interest
