life is full of peaks and valleys. Some days you are the bug, some days you are the windshield.
I imagine a very bleak future for myself lately although I had a strong showing of true progress in recent weeks. I do not know what else to say. I guess I just have to ride this wave until it lets me off.
Glad for certain people here that check in with me, thank you. I appreciate you.

Managing our mental health or healing from trauma are never smooth rides into the sunset. Its a bumpy road and sometimes you get stuck in a rut. My journey has been full of setbacks and frustration. It sounds like you have the right attitude though! When the dust eventually clears we just have to keep moving forward. Wish I had more than cliches and a tired "journey" metaphor to offer, but just wanted you to know you were heard and someone can relate! Sending peace and strength.
nothing wrong with Journey. Some of the most inspirational words are hidden in song lyrics. Thank you for taking the time to respond. I will gladly accept any and all offers of strength and peace.
Of all people here, you would understand as well as any anyone. Your story has been a constant up and down battle and if the old line of “whatever does not kill you only makes you stronger” had any truth in it, you would be herculean without a doubt. We are not alone Adam, thank you for your support good sir.
The problem with flow is that uphill does not give much opportunity for it. I will continue to draw inspiration from this forum and do better to prevent myself from feeling so low. I am glad for your participation and contributions Roxy.
Hi, how have you been? I’m so down, I feel like I just want to get drunk or something. I’m not an alcoholic but I stay away from it because it would be easy for me to become one. I have no idea what to do with my life anymore. I don’t seem to know how to make some progress.
I am not intentionally giving up, but i feel defeated. I will shake it off eventually. Sooner rather than later if I can muster enough positive energy.
Setbacks can be demoralizing but really are a sign of progress and a normal part of the healing process. Dust yourself off and get back on the horse and keep going.
Yep, That's how it goes, the tiniest thing can knock you sideways, even when you are feeling good. It's like tightrope walking in a gale. Just try to remember, that it's not the fall that hurts, it's the way you land!
the finish line is a long ways off. I will face the setbacks as they come and lean on people like yourself for little pep talks along the way. Thank you Midori.
