Overall I am in a far better place than three years ago, though I still have tough periods. I learned that they pass though, which has been vital. I used to just feel helpless and trapped so anything now is a big improvement and I think I have more good than bad days
I am having to unlearn a lot of black and white / all or nothing thinking. The notion of happiness is one of those things I used to think you either always are or always are not and despaired at not being. Whereas now it seems to me like it's on a wave of ups and downs and that is ok.
How are you finding things?
Really good to hear marra. Hopefully that improvement continues as gradually or rapidly as is suitable and you end up in a place beyond your wildest optimism
I'm good ta, I've never suffered PTSD afaik, a few things have been pretty formative and not in a good way but overall I think I've come through things fairly unscarred for which I'm very grateful and always in awe of people who manage to get through incredible hardship
