I have always thought progress doesn’t look like a linear progression but a up and down progression. Yesterday, I came back to my low, I was with my partner of some time now and until yesterday I haven’t gotten hit with so much anxiety. I couldn’t get it up and it destroyed my confidence (again). Why do I share this? Because today, even though I dreamt that I couldn’t get it hard 2 times (crazy that my anxiety even invades my dreams), I still know that recovery is possible and that it’s faster and I will come out stronger.
I hated that ED happened again to me but there’s a saying in my country which translates to “the wrong step, walk it faster” which means that it’s better to live this fears right now and deal with them in the present so that the future is bright and better.
Stay strong my brothers.
