stepbystep

I am learning to look at life one day at a time, to manage my expectations daily to avoid drowning in my own thoughts and anxieties.

Taking things one step at a time helps focus on one task and avoids the mind of wandering into those obscure thoughts it shouldn't go...

It is hard, but I am getting better, little by little, step by step

It seems to happen all of a sudden; but it’s from a repetition of hard work on self improvement. Today, as if by a miracle, I have my teeth brushed before 8am rolls around and went onward with laundry 🧺 (opening up the door to bring in the sunshine & fresh air helped).

It’s been 6 years since my dad died and just months since my ex-spouse died. Six years ago I would just cry and stare at water, trying to convince myself to drink it - to take that little step at living. My dad had died and I divorced. I don’t want to be like that again. So I’m trying every single little thing I can to stay as healthy as possible ♥️ #Grief #SuicideLoss #SuicideTheRippleEffect #progress #stepbystep #DepressionAndMentalHealth #Selfcare

... then you're in such great company, like mine just a few days ago.

I used to dwell in that place, but thankfully, through daily tiny steps, I've journeyed to far open planes where I can breathe the fresh air and feel the sun on my soul.

Sometimes, however, I experience being back in the cold, dark, dank cavesystem of #BPD #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder with all the despression, despair, anxiety, physical discomfort.

But I don't DWELL there anymore, so I knew it was just old data creating a glitch in the system, echoes of the old messages the condition spews into my ears but I know them to be lies, they are expected stumbles on the Road of Recovery.

Dear friend, get up once more, just once more, and come #stepbystep into your hope-full future. xxx
