No need to apologize! It is rough. There are better times and worse times. It's not a straight line. Detours, setbacks, various sized victories... It's all part of the journey.

Try not to be so hard on yourself,ok? This is hard enough without adding the extra burdens of shame and self-reproach onto yourself. Easier said than done, to be gentle with yourself, but worthwhile to remember. We tend to be our own harshest critics. If it were happening to someone else, you'd have empathy, not judgement, right? You deserve no less for yourself.

No judgement what.so.ever here. Truly. Even when you don't feel it --especially when you don't feel it-- remember that I think you are amazingly strong. Wobbles aren't weakness. They are human. It may seem strange to say, but they actually reassuring. They are real. If someone claimed to have only positive forward movement, I'd think they were full of it. It certainly wouldn't be relateable. Your honesty through the ups and downs of this make it real. Relateable in it's humanness.
