Why aren't I getting better despite my efforts?

It sounds like your trying, which is a great start. Good on you! :) Sometimes healing takes a long time and a lot of effort to make a difference. Keep at it!

Time heals all wounds. You have to keep truckin' and keep your head up high! If you persist and you truly want to get better you definitely will. And trust me, You will be stronger once you come out of this dark period of your life :)

Things take time. Life is a marathon, not a sprint. I know you're trying, and you're getting somewhere, sometimes the finish line is just a little further away then we'd like to hope, but you're getting there, and you're getting closer! Hold on! Tomorrow will be a little brighter!

Sometimes the progress we make, we can't always see clearly, as we are so focused on a certain goal. Continue to evaluate yourself over time and you may see differently.

Because you're not re-assessing your goals and what exactly are you doing to reach them. What metric are you using? What does "better" mean? When you find a metric, and your efforts are not paying off... you must change something (don't: try try again, instead: try to reach that goal in a (somewhat) different way, and always re-evaluate... did this change in my approach produce better results?

It always takes time for things to change, if you are not getting worse and you are trying your best, then you are getting better :) You will see results soon, just stick to it and be positive!

sometimes we take longer to recover and the more we push ourselves and work in improvements it doesnt seem to make us get better. The main thing is that you start taking 1 step at the time, take a deep breath and be kind to yourself

Getting better at anything can take time, this includes mental health. Getting better at coding, art, or a job you're doing can take time. Your efforts will absolutely be worth it in the end if you don't focus constantly on getting better. Change happens overtime and you may very well be happy in the future with the outcome.

Just because it doesn't seem like you're improving doesn't mean you aren't. Recovery is a slow and gradual process - it can take time to figure out what works for you as an individual and things that haven't worked aren't failures, they're steps toward something that WILL work for you. Just like you sometimes have to try on several pairs of jeans before you find the one that fits, sometimes you have to try several approaches to getting better before you find the obest that feels right for you.
