Patience

Recovery and mental health management are not pretty, clean, straight upwards lines of progress, it's really a lot more up and down, you know?  You're not a failure if you've relapsed or struggled with suicidal ideation recently. Life can hit you hard, and sometimes your healthy coping skills just can't hold the weight. That's okay. You're okay. Please understand you're still wonderful and worthy of sympathy and kindness, even if you've resorted to some unhealthy coping skills to get through. I'm just glad you're still here. We can aim for a healthier 2020 together, okay? All My Best, Kate
