dreamer, I know it's hard to think of it this way, because one day to feel ok sure doesn't seem like enough. But you had a day...I bet you can remember a time when you didn't even have one day to feel decent.

It stinks when you are feeling ok and then slide back down. But try to keep an eye on that day, and realize that it is a step forward. And if you could have one good day, you can have more. Maybe only one day a week...but then two days a week. And then maybe you can string a few days together. That one day was a start, not an ending.

I remember when I only had one day of feeling ok...and I was lucky enough to have several people reminding me to look at that one day as a good thing, as a start toward having many good days. And it was a start...the good days started adding up until there were more good days than bad days. If that can happen to me, it can happen to you, too. So hold onto that good day...let it remind you that there are more good days out there for you, and let that thought help you through the bad ones.

It's not an easy road, but I know you have made a lot of progress already, and you have lots of people here to support you and help you get through those bad days until they are few and far between.

Take care.
*hugs*
