I’m in a similar season — past horrors coming back and slapping me around. The only thing to do is take it day by day, focus on the positives, and actively find things to be grateful for. Sending tons of good vibes your way!

For a little while, anti-depressants might be your best bet. You will have to be on them for at least 1 year before you come off. Hang in there and keep going to therapy! It gets better

You are strong and will get through this - even though you don’t believe it. Keep with therapy - it’s a marathon not a sprint. Also when you find yourself troubled, practice mindfulness. The biggest little thing I am doing now that has really helped to center me is to think of what I am sensing right now - think of your 5 senses. What am I hearing, seeing, etc. really helps to pull me back into the present when it’s easy to get sucked into everything else going on in our lives. I hope it helps you.
