Life doesnât get better. YOU get better.

That word, âshould,â usually not helpful and often damaging. I think reframing this to something like, âI can see where I came from, this is where I am now, and hereâs what I would like to work on next.â And we might not be ready to work on that next thing yet and thatâs okay. All goes back to how we talk to ourselves matters so much.

I was talking to someone about this the other day. How sometimes I just sit there and think huh, I actually havenât thought about wanting to kill myself for a while. Like how at one point that was just this dominant thing. Not the only thought or anything but it was always lurking there. And then at some point that just stopped happening and I almost didnât realise it.
Got it coming back a bit at the moment but I can see that there is a situation I need to move through. Like the idea of the rock of misery. Iâve got an analogy going with my mind as the sea and when itâs all stormy the rock is a place to cling on to while I work out how to quiet the storm. Better to cling on than throw ourselves off.
Sometimes the idea of this being something that will keep coming back is exhausting. But this time so far at least it feels like less hard work to keep hold of the rock. So thatâs something.

Same here @siand same here! I feel you on that and I am still going through this daily. Sometimes full days go by when Iâm consciously choosing to not take myself out and on the days Iâm doing ok those thoughts are still there right below the surface. Iâm sorry youâre going through a hard time right now but youâre right, the storm will pass eventually. Proud of you

Thank you so much 
At one point I couldnât imagine a future where I didnât feel like that. But I kept reminding myself there was no way I could know it would be like that forever. Just maybe things might be different. And right now they are.
Hang in there. I know you know how to get through it. Weâre here to help hold you up when it gets too exhausting
