it can seem like forever and like things never get better and maybe get worse. but improvements sneak up behind taking little tiny turtle steps.

i find some parts are a lot more pesimistic and things are especially hopeless and awful when they are around. can be hard to see or accept that what they believe/feel isn't necessarily what other parts believe/feel. it is like different parts can have different world views. but hard to accept that because when they are around they feel like everything (not just a part).

sometimes it helps me when t can help point out things that have improved. it is hard to see small change.
