I toil away at it and I try to be as kind to myself as I can. And I'm still nowhere near done. But I feel stronger and my suffering is less.

So, for me, one thing that's helped is not constantly dwelling on where I would like to be and what I've never had. The big picture stuff is too overwhelming. I went back to just trying to get through the day. Then be a little less miserable. Then trying to find some small pleasures in life by doing things. Break it down into manageable pieces and focus on the task at hand.

Control whatever it is within your power to control no matter how seemingly small. You deserve better.
