"Good enough" for me is when I can mostly sleep through the night. When I don't have "tape loops" in my head saying the same thing all day such as "I hate this world." When I find myself not obsessing about some event or issue in the moment. When I surprise myself by seeing myself not get upset about something I would have freaked out about in the past. When I don't write in my journal every night and take ativan to make brain turn off, make myself stop crying and make myself sleep for awhile.
Finally, "good enough" for me is when I don't go to sleep at night praying that I won't wake up in the morning, and when I do wake up in the morning, being able to get out of bed, pet my cats, and look forward to the rest of the day.
Don't know if this makes sense.
