Feeling Defeated: Does Anyone Else Relate?

part of progress is feeling like you're going backwards again. it's hard to feel like you're no longer as ahead as you were, but progress is not a steady incline, it always has ups and downs within it. it's always hard to move forward. i believe in you. even when you feel set back, you've made progress by still being here.

I understand completely. I feel the same as you. You are not alone.

For sure feel like this at least once a week it's heartbreaking,

You are not alone! Absolutely feel like this all the time. You feel like you’re moving forward and things are good and then BAM, something happens and you are 15 steps back. I wish I had some great advice on how to feel better about it all but I’m still struggling myself. I have found that if I surround myself with positive things like songs/movies/books that I can get in a better mind space sometimes.
