Trapped

Sometimes no matter how much progress I make it feels so easy to go backwards and end up back where I started

I often backslide and it makes me miserable.  My therapist often has to remind me that healing isn't linear.

I wish it was, I wish it was like Roblox where once you get a level you can't go back down. Every time I think I've gotten better I sink to another low and it's just so embarrassing like when I tell people I'm doing better I feel like such a liar because I know it's just going to come back

I don't have anything to say other than I totally understand. I feel the same, don't want to be an emotional burden to my loved ones anymore, so I keep everything to myself

@photagrapher99 The best option is to keep moving forward in life.

What's important is having the guts to get back up and look at what you can control. There is no cure to the past but you can determine what you are like in the present. It isn't great to lose progress but it's important to never give up. I'm rooting for you.

I feel for you. Ive recently been struggling and came to a point of clarity today where i felt like i reached a new level of understanding...my next epiphany!!! And i felt so free and happy!

And then i re-read a journal entry of mine from a month ago... and i was writing the same thing then🤯

I had to laugh at myself! I guess some lessons dont sink in quickly... those tire marks going forward have to be run over and over until they turn into ruts.

And you know what? It's okay. Keep driving, keep learning🙏
