restart
i went 3 years. I’m now barely at 2 hours. i’ve failed. I’ve let myself down. I never saw it coming until it was here, i had held back for so long and how i’m back at square one.
The breathing exercises don’t help, the distraction techniques are useless. How on earth do i come back from this?
@CPO2000
remember you stopped before and you can do it again. If we stopped everything that set us back no one would do anything. it is a work in progress.
It's okay friend. You didn't fail. Someone helped me see something the other day... we sometimes struggle with depression. That may never go away but it won't always be AS bad. You went 3 years. Your relapse didn't erase that. You were on top of the struggle for 3 years straight. You slipped, you got hurt. That's what happens in a battle. But a slip does not determine the outcome. You're still here...FIGHTING and we're proud of you. It's okay to restart as many times as it takes. As long as you never stop trying, you CAN'T fail.
@CPO2000 its ok. This isn't a restart. Its a slip. Those years definitely count. You can keep going. Is there anyone you can talk to about it? That can help a lot. Sending hugs ❤️
