Relapse
I’m recently diagnosed and got put on a meal plan. At first I was able to follow it well, but after a week or two, I couldn’t do it anymore. I relapsed. Now, I’m just scared that I can’t recover and that I won’t ever get better. I’m trying to start back on the meal plan, but it’s giving me crippling anxiety. I want to get better. It’s just so hard.
Hi there
recovery isn't black and white. Its a process and journey and we will have slips but we got to get back in it. Don't beat yourself up just learn from it and try again!
sorry to hear your struggling. It will get more manageable over time. But give yourself slack if you slip, its not all or nothing.
I remember being so focused on my slips that it kept a slippery slope to climb in recovery. Better to accept and give your self credit for all your efforts on this difficult journey in recovery. Do you have anxiety skills to use?
It is hard huh?! Very much so!! Be gentle with yourself, this is tuff stuff work we are doing to recover!
best wishes
