To those of you that fear recovery because youâve become so comfortable with your suffering:
You donât notice it leave. It goes away slowly and you donât even notice itâs gone until youre happy and content.
You wonât miss it. It wonât hurt. You wonât be empty. I promise it will be so much better than your head tells you.
Recently hit the 5 year anniversary of this post. I've had lots of replies, convos, reposts on Pinterest, etc, and I just wanna say I love you all, yes even those of you that responded while in pain. Especially those of you that are younger, I promise the brain gets better at handling things.
It did get better. Mostly slowly, but there were times between relapses like the post above, which I originally made to remind myself for future dark times. I hope those tastes of freedom and recovery motivate you to give yourself the good feelings you deserve.
