I have that magnet on my fridge - it's a nice reminder

This is a good mantra to have. Your therapist is right sometimes you want the bad to pass now.

Good things to keep reminding yourself (and for me to keep reminding myself too :) ). Best of luck to you during this time.

My mom has that magnet on her fridge. It's one of her favorite sayings.

I want that magnet lol!

I am here with you right now, using these same mantras wanting to tear my hair out. Another saying I have found better is "Wait it out. Things eventually get better."

Recovery sucks. This part of recovery hurts. Weight gain sucks. The hope that things eventually get better keeps us going.

Great magnet! Where does one get those?!

oh wow, your therapist is so right! That's beautiful!!

When I was just entering the 'real' part of recovery--as in the gaining part--my best friend gave me a magnet that said, Today I Will Accept Change. I loved and hated that magnet. Really hated it, at points. But it helped, ultimately. I still think of it in my tough moments. It helped to label the feelings not as good or bad, but just as Change, happening even when it hurt like hell.

I also love a line from a song by Moby: "The darkest night's before the dawn." It's true! And the sky will lighten...it just takes time for your eyes to adjust :)

hugs to you.

There's also a line

I love "the only way out is through." I also love "Jump and the net will appear."
