This may make sense to people going through any type of recovery.
May it be Mental Health, Physical Health, or Addiction. Recovery is a hard, exhausting time in a person's life. For me, some days don't even seem worth it, but that is when I know I need to push the most. When recovery doesn't seem worth it, keep pushing, because one day you'll look back and be glad you did.
One day you'll look back at all of the hardships recovery has brought you.
Mornings you didn't want to get out of bed because you're scared of what the day would bring. Staring at the food at the dinner table knowing you should eat but not wanting to. Hearing your phone ring but not answering because you're not sure how to answer the "How are you feeling?" question on the other end. The hours glued to the bathroom floor not being able to move because of PTSD flashbacks. The cravings, the breakdowns, the panic attacks, and the suicidal thoughts. Someday you'll look back at these moments and wonder how you got through it. The beauty of it is, you have already gotten through it at this point.
I'm not sure why the process of recovery has to be so hard, but I am going to be so happy when I finally get to tell myself that I did it.
The road to recovery is not a straight line and will make you feel like the most sensitive, fragile, weak human being to ever exist. These bumps in the road will test your strength, so make sure you fight back. As much as you feel like the world is against you and you will never see the light at the end of the tunnel, keep pushing because someday will be your day and you'll be able to breathe freely again.
It is one of the hardest things you will do.
Keep pushing through recovery because some day your story will be told and you will inspire someone.
