Does anyone ever regret that they started their journey of recovery. I'm doing much better now, but I certainly did at first. I'm just starting on my journey as finally know I have Cptsd. At first I felt ready. Then the work began, and I'm a little overwhelmed.
Does it get easier at all? After some work and time? |

I can honestly say that I regret it at the moment. There's a lot more wrong than I initially thought and I'm having to actually deal with pain rather than push it away. I have been on this journey for a while, though. There are times when I'm so thankful that I'm working through this and able to. It just depends on what's going on with me, I guess. There are times when it's easier and times when you don't think you can keep going. I just quote Churchill when I get like this, "If you're going through hell, keep going." You can PM me if you need someone to talk to.

I hate having to face my parents abuse- and those memories and those issues (for me, a big part of recovery), and to be honest, it is still such a trigger for me I wonder if I ever will.... fully, even if I want to
I mean who doesn't want to recover from abuse? (that's not what I'm saying) I'm saying I have 4 mental health diagnoses and chronic pain and no goals/ qualifications/ support the future's hardly brite |

To all thinking it's futile, it's not. My psychiatrist gives me a different kind of therapy (and I am not supposed to know this), to calm my mind and guide me through my ocean of problems. It really, really made an impact on me and my personality, how I view the world and even who I want to be. It's totally worth it. I am still somewhat broken, and there are things about me that cannot be fixed, but I am no longer hearing voices or have unconventional beliefs. My anxiety's being managed too.
