Your words capture that quiet battle with such honesty and grace. The way you hold space for both darkness and hope makes this piece resonate deeply. One step at a time, as you said—that’s what healing truly looks like. Thank you for sharing your journey so openly; it reminds the rest of us that we’re never alone in ours.
I just subscribed so I don’t miss your next piece. This is the kind of writing worth carrying forward.
Thank you, Mishkat. Your words mean a lot. It matters to say out loud that healing isn’t linear, and the backsliding can be sneaky. I was so determined to believe I was steady that I couldn’t see the unraveling just off-screen. That kept me in a loop for years. If these pieces help someone recognize those saboteurs and feel less alone, then the pain had purpose. Grateful you subscribed.
I know exactly the feeling you’re describing. And your descriptions are both intriguing and spot on. I especially liked this line: “And sometimes the darkness slides in, unbidden.”
Thank you, I truly appreciate your comment. I'd say at this time, mostly I have really good days. Think this was a way to connect with readers who feel this way, but also to say sometimes I get quiet. I'm not gone, just processing.
I totally understand. I find this is true for me too. The bad days have lessened over the years, but when I have them I do find they feel like forever. But they never are. I’m glad you’re doing well most of the time!
Thanks Kristin! I thought this one might resonate for you. I used to think that healing was a destination: somewhere to arrive at and set up house. But I’ve learned to look at it more as a continuing journey, which was a huge shift for me. I always deeply appreciate your input.💜

It really is a continuous journey. Most of my posts are from a few years ago and I and still learning, still healing, still growing. 💜💚
