It's a journey of a thousand miles and some days you take a step or two backward. There is a miracle and that is that first time, during one of those backward steps, that you tell yourself that you'll move forward again. The next miracle is when you do it again.
I once believed not so long ago that such a thing couldn't happen. I was just telling my psychologist yesterday that I was really depressed over the weekend and all through Monday. But, I told myself it would pass, just as I've told myself for the past few months. And it did pass. I told her yesterday that I'm now fairly certain that I can short circuit what I used to call the 'death spiral from Hell' where I get depressed because I'm depressed. I can become depressed without spiralling.
So one step at a time, short attainable goals, patience.
