One bad day

One bad day. That's all it takes. Just one bad day and it feels like it's undone all of your hard work. It doesn't matter how you felt yesterday. Today came along and smashed it all. You blame yourself and that just makes you feel worse... Why couldn't you just stay well? What now? Now that everything is ruined? Where do you go from here?

Truth is, you just get tomorrow. And maybe tomorrow will be fine.

It was just one day. One bad day.

Yesterday was bad, but that doesn't mean today will be. Nor does it mean I am a failure. In fact, today is much improved upon yesterday. I am still here, I am still alive. So I'll let yesterday go. Accept it as just one of those things. Recovery is not a straight line. It is a winding path which will go up and down and lead me to places I hadn't intended on going. But I will get there eventually. 

One bad day does not break me, though it may feel so at the time. One bad day just reminds me of the countless good days that preceded it and the many more that will follow it. 

Yesterday, I reached out for help to HOPEline UK. They are a great service who can text you with help and advice when you are in crisis. Find out more here
