Hi @
jrae.
It could mean that you're actually improving psychologically or that, even though you're still inside the dark place, you're actually coping better. It could mean that. I can relate to your post and, for me, if I find that the dark place doesn't seem so dark anymore, and I'm still sticking to a positive path forward, then, hey, it has to be a good sign. It has to be.
Keep going, friend. Keep going. 🙏
