(The picture above is not the actual conversation, but a translation into english).
Yesterday I chatted with a former fellow patient from my inpatient stay last year.
Our chat made me see that I am still very impatient with myself. Even days after my husband’s birthday I was quite upset and was angry with myself, because it’s still hard for me to be around the little niece.
But like V. pointed out, I did a few little steps in the right direction. After all there were times where I couldn’t stand being around the little one.
Conversations like this are the reason why I continue therapy at the moment. On my own I wouldn’t see this, and I would still hate myself. And this feeling doesn’t help, I learned that from the past.
I have come so far in the last months, but I still need help. Sometimes somebody needs to give me a push, so I can get things straight.

One step at a time. I think you’re come so far from when I first met you. You worked very hard to be where you are today.
Have a fabulous day. ♥

I’d like to get there faster, but some things just need time. But compared to the awful periods of standstill I take every baby step I can get!

Thanks for the hugs! Sometimes I am very fed up and ask myself how often I will have to talk about this before it gets better… sigh… patience is not my strong side.

Absolutely, and sometimes we can be our own worst enemy. Being hard on yourself means a reminder from someone else to ease up and celebrate your achievements can be much needed, because each little step, no matter how small, counts. ♥
