It’s hard to stay strong. The emotions come and go. But…never give up!

Getting better is not a perfect straight uphill line graph. It’s more like random zigzagging dots that slowly go up.

Reading a good tale. Playing some fun games. Did my workout and dishes. Accepting where I am for today.

Lots of journaling yesterday. It started out sugary sweet. Nothing wrong. By the last page, I was getting somewhere!

Got my own breakfast! (First time in a while). These are the steps I need. :)

I’m going to try an experiment today and not think or use the word “symptoms” (or any equivalent) all day.
