A movement consisting of those who oppose what they perceive as recovery* from mental illness and/or neurodivergence.
This is typically due to two reasons: (1) Recovery from mental illness/neurodivergence is seen as submitting to internal ableism and admitting that mentally ill/neurodivergent people need to be "fixed," and (2) A general mistrust in the psychiatric and health care systems.
*Recovery in this context does not mean a cure, it simply means coping/living with your illness/neurotype in a positive way.

I had to block some people on Tumblr because all my positivity posts about mental illness were swarmed by anti-recovery weirdos telling me I'm a big psychiatry bootlicker.

some faggot ass bullshit that high schoolers everywhere hate. It is a form of retaking a class where you stay 2 or more hours after school and sit bored as fuck in front of a computer and retake a class virtually.

A girl who was once a slut, but has changed her ways, and instead of sleeping with every man she meets, she has more self control and can say "no" to sex...most of the time.

When you're sad, ill, lonely or cold getting into the spooning position with someone will solve everything & make you feel better.
Two people in bed
Person one: Corrr im cold
Person two *Spoons person one*
Person one: Thats better now we are both warm & comfortable, thanks for the Spoon Recovery.
Same applies to being sad, ill or lonely, by being spooned you feel better

When you hear an atrociously bad cover of a song you like and need to go hear the better version of the song.

Otherwise known as Bank Holiday Monday for us Brits.
When your boss announces that a Bank Holiday Monday is coming up or you notice it on your calendar you proceed to contact your mates to arrange a massive party or pub crawl for the whole weekend, this will result in mass injury to the brain and liver forcing you to spew your guts up in your bed or couch the next day in an attempt to regain your perception of the world. This day is called recovery Monday.
Recovery Monday is a safe haven from the stresses of every day life and when announced you can't help but feel relief and anticipation for a good weekend free from the burdens of your job and the daily grind.
