Its a huge slog getting thru days when you feel awful, and then having to do that again again, and having to make yourself do hard things you really dont want to do.
It takes immense perseverance and courage. I dont think that gets recognised, by us and others, as much as it should be.
If you are dismissing this ('I just do it because I have to', 'I dont always cope' 'life is chaotic'or whatever), stop it! Even if you've not got better or life is awful, you have still managed to get thru the days somehow. You are here, arent you?
Give yourself some much-deserved praise!

What a great post to read. I have rarely visited here and am neither well known nor popular, but I'm a PB Adm. refugee right now and I hope I can cross over the border from time to time.
Your post is so true--- thank you!

Yeah. What doesn't kill us makes us stronger, and we are survivors because WE ARE STILL HERE.
It is nice to reflect on that sometimes :-)
Thank you.

Fi, thank you so much for your great post. You made me stop and think about some of my days and You're Right! We do make it through things that ordinary people only have nightmares about!! I sat here last night and thought about how hard it's been at times and I've always pulled myself up and gotten out there. Today would be a great example because I wanted to just hide under the covers and not get up.....But I remembered your post! Thanks again, Fi!! You rock!!!! Pat

Have you ever tried, or been on a benzo like Xanax or Clonazepam?
They sound like they would work very well for your symptoms, make you
feel a *lot* better.Take care..:-)
