Well, what do you know?

I was doig pretty good there for a while. The last few weeks after starting a recovery from CPTSD, I was experiencing a bit of genuine hope. But the the previous two days was a backward spiral into where I was just a few weeks ago - a depression so deep it was an effort just to breath.

I have had my face glued to my phone and this website all day today. I’ve felt like a shame-filled loser all day too.

But it just occurred to me that the depression that usually takes days or weeks to crawl out of is gone.

Who knew?!

I am glad the depression did not last. I really think that is progress.

I have to admit that is huge! Thank you!

I’m glad your depression left you. Life is always changing. Hoping for more positive moments

I call this the ptsd cha-cha. It’s the way recovery for all chronic illness works. Stay with it. We overcome.

Mm. Yeah. Took me a bit to work through my fog to get your meaning. Got it. Really good point.
