My worst symptoms of anxiety and depression are triggered by stressful events. So I think that what helps me dealing with my response to this stressful events could help me also to get better.
hugs, I know where you are coming from, I get them days too. It seems like they just sneak in. On them days I do only what needs to be done and leave everything else for a better day, I get depressed on them days too, because i feel guilty for not doing what i planned, but I then tell my self it can all wait for a day that i feel better. I think we all just need to pamper ourselves, we are all special! jaybe
There is no time line. The object is to get better. It doesn't matter if you lose a day once in a while. If you are like me and have a disability or chronic disease you are going to lose more than a few. How long it takes you matters to you only. Rather than treat it like a set back, treat it like a rest period and pamper yourself. You will likely get back on track faster if you do this rather than worry.
Every one is different, never compare yourself to any one else. You are an individual and you are special to you. Treat yourself that way.
That being said, I am guilty of feeling like I was not progressing fast enough. I've done the crash and burn thing and had to pull myself up again. It is stupid because it was not necessary. I still got where I am now and if you asked how long did it take I would have to say I don't know, I just know I'm here now.
I am sorry to hear you are not feeling well today.... and yes I do this too..
It's good that you are resting today..Thats what I am doing today too..
I find that if I let myself rest and recover than I get better in a few days...I know it is hard to do but at this point it is very necessary and we really have no other choice..
Try not to let it get you down..You are doing what you need to do now and that is resting and taking care of you..
Things should look better when you are feeling better and rested...
