Having a bit of a dip
Could be a number of reasons, I'm not even sure what's going on with me. Do you ever feel this way? Like, you're just sad/tearful and there may be a few contributing factors and I don't know which is bothering me more. Does this sound strange? I don't know
-
It sounds completely normal to me. Recovery isn't a straight line and it's important to remember that a few bad days doesn't mean things are going back to how they were. Even people without mental illness have bad days
-
Completely normal. One psychiatrist once told me that even those without MH issues have good and bad days, why should I be any different? Harsh but true…
-
We all have our ups and downs it's quite normal as Jaq and Paula mentioned as sure as eggs is eggs things will improve.

Hey, gorgeous, how are you doing?

My head is a strange place right now! I have had a run of days.....well, maybe run is the wrong word, when I have cartilage damage in my right knee but anyway, I can have a run of good days, where I feel like I'm doing ok....and that's how it's been, there have been issues with work but I've straightened that out. Strange thing is that....and I don't even know how to explain properly but it's like....I'm thinking of the things I do that make me feel rubbish again because I don't believe I should be feeling "ok" I've probably said similar to this before but I'm bringing up again, as it's how I feel now. Why can I not just be ok with being ok?! This isn't just me, is it?

No, love, it’s not just you. I’m so good at talking myself into a low mood/being anxious etc. That’s when talking to the people who know you and care about you is so important. That’s why an environment such as DWD is vital - we can talk out how we’re feeling and be reassured that this is normal and will pass (panda)

Thank you! and thank you for checking up on me!
