Good...then not good days

[Jbes1973]

Good morning from my area of the globe.

This has been a pattern with me for awhile, i have a day or 2 that are good, low anxiety, got some energy.

Then the next day sucks, and I can't help get down and think "o no it's always going to be bad"

Anyone else have this... suggestions?

Just keep telling yourself you are going to get through this. Healing isn't linear, there will be ups and downs. It helps if I have a routine each day. It may not always go as planned, but at least I kind of know what to expect for the most part. One task at a time. You've got this!

A lot of us have the same experience. My suggestion is to be grateful for those good days and be patient with yourself on days that aren't so great. Your bio says you are a new parent. Do you have a baby? Adjusting life when a child comes into your home is huge no matter their age. It changes everything. The good news is that you can change, too. The Course in Miracles says "a miracle is a change in perception". I'm glad you've shared and I look forward to learning more about you. Best wishes for a good day. 🥰

Thanks so much for your reply. Not a new partner (17 yr old), but i homeschoolrd until they were 15.

I've had a hard time letting go, i know its a major part of this crap.

I'm also in isolation for awhile because they are very immune compromised and i have cold, flu,🤷🏽‍♂️

Hi Jbes1973,

Are you on any medication? I have what I call it "ups and downs." My therapist is suggesting I go to a psychiatrist to adjust my meds.

I have exactly the same 2 days up, one down. But I look at it for myself as progress. I went weeks bad and one day good. I think as we recover more and more we will get better. Longer days of wellness. That’s my hope.
