Slipping... absolutely not!!! Just a rough patch. We all have been there, and know the inner crap that goes on. I'm calling for what it is, and we are hardest on ourselves. How we, all of us, talk to ourselves shows this inner challenge that we all face. Think of it this way, with a little example. When a baby smacks you in the face, is not the same as an adult smacking you. Anger can show, and our inner self talk is what is happening.

We care about you, never forget that!! Yes, life is hard and crap happens, but stop "should-ing" on yourself.

Yes, these thoughts are happening and each one is tough, but "call it for what it is" a coping skill!!

This has worked for me, it's tough, it's not easy, but life is worth living! I know that I am not perfect and I also know that no one else is, and that gives me hope. Don't give in to those thoughts, keep fighting!
