Everyone experiences setbacks, the forward and backwards progression of healing. It’s ok. It’s normal. (((Misty)))
It’s a battle. Believe me, folks earn their hard fought clarity and wisdom.
Detachment is the single best thing you can do for your mental health.

You are strong enough! During those times of clarity and rational thought, I know you realize your strength. And then heartbreak wells up and all that resolve seems to melt away. Dig deep my dear. Sword and shield. It’s not H you’re battling here.
Heartbreak produces a draw like that of heroin withdrawal. Healing / recovering from heartbreak is one of the most difficult paths to walk.
Focus on you. Stay strong girl.

Feelings are fleeting. Be better, not bitter. Love the person, forgive the sin.
