It’s ok… It’s ok to heal at your own pace.
Why am I still stuck?
How long will it take to feel better again?
Will I ever feel better again?
Why is it so difficult to deal with this pain?
The answer is when you are ready!!!
There is no time limit on Healing, it’s not a competition. Don’t compare your growth with others. Remember, recovering is a process. It takes time, it takes patience, it takes everything you have got. So be gentle with yourself. This too will pass. There will be days you will feel active and then there will be days where you’ll not feel like doing anything. Do want you feel like doing or not doing. Rest, pause, take a break if you have to. Tell yourself “Whenever I’m ready I’ll move on.” You pace is your decision. You get to define what your growth looks like for you. You get to start over as many times as it takes.
Please be patient with your timing. Acknowledge your efforts, don’t write them off, allow yourself to be in progress. Be gentle with yourself, especially on the parts of you that hurts. Give possibility a chance, it’s worth it.
It may take days, months or years. You will heal eventually. What you are feeling is completely valid and necessary, because it only makes you more human. Forgive yourself for not meeting you own impossible standards. Understand, you are worthy of healing. In a world where people are living their life, you are being brave enough to fight for your survival and guiding yourself for your better life.
Just in case no one has told you lately, the progress you are making truly matters.
Take care of Yourself.
