Delay In Processing Emotions?

Thanks @D123!

It was finally the seventh time I asked someone for help that anything good happened at all.

I am proud of you for having the bravery and the courage to reach out that many times! And see!? You had success!

Hope the rest of your week has been steadier, @D123, I know that mine has definitely been back and forth. Mostly good, although the past two days have been rocky... Ugh. Will it ever stop being day to day?!

I hate how I'm fine and then something hits me and I'm down for the count. While I know that I'm getting stronger, some days I really wish that it was longer than just days that I am fine... Dare I ask, is that what normal* people feel? Just good for days and days on end?

*I know that "normal" is subjective. Just thinking about normal here as people that don't have any mental health issues at all.

Hey @bell,

Thanks for this, truly...

I am proud of you for having the bravery and the courage to reach out that many times! And see!? You had success!

I actually felt bad for venting on your thread. So, thanks again for the support!!! I means a lot! It's been a little better, but y'know, it's a lot of two steps forward, one step back. A lot of screw ups along the way, too! And I really wish I had a better grasp on the timeline. How many years do I have to work this hard to have a few good days put together that I can count on? A decade? :laugh:

I'm so sorry it's been rocky for you... I definitely understand those days.

I've wondered that a lot... is that how normal people feel, just one good day after the other? Is that really possible? ;) Only, every time I get a couple of normal days myself, I get all freaked out because normal is so incredibly weird and abnormal in my life experience. :eek:

I really think we just gotta hang in there, stay determined, keep moving forward.

Wishing you lots of normal days, good days, full of calm and contentment, :joyful:
