Re: Recovering After a Crash

It's a living hell, Tom. I've been there. Your body feels awful and it seems like there's no progress, no understanding, no hope. I get that. The grief and despair is a natural response, and I know it feels awful. I feel for you, I really do. And your actual physiology is contributing to how you feel, I mean really changing your mood chemically. We have to be on guard about that. And forgiving of ourselves for falling victim to it, it's quite understandable if we get down. We've got a lot working against us.

But things do get better. Slowly, yes, but better. And, yes, there are ups and downs, but overall you know that things have been improving. Trust in that. Go easy on yourself, be compassionate with yourself. Hang in there and take some comfort in the fact that your compatriots in the fight are fighting along with you here in the forum. Tweet
