Recovery is about learning, about moving forward one step at a time. When I have a setback, I find myself completely absorbed in negativity, it rolls around my head like laundry in the washing machine. Everything is shrouded in a dark haze. I find it hard to just feel ‘a little bit bad’, it’s always a near-catastrophic END OF THE WORLD feeling for me. As I’m trying to get better, I’ve found it incredibly important to cling onto the little things that make me happy. Small steps I can make to offer myself a rope and dig my mind out of its blackhole.
