    Aww Leila! Good on you for calling Shout!

    Although probably not quite to your extent, I've been there. I don't know if this will help you but this is what helps me. When I tell myself that it gets better, that those feelings will be over, I feel like I'm setting myself up for failure. It feels like once I am better, I have to commit to feeling better and if I have a day where I don't and feel terrible, I'll hit a downward spiral. I'll feel like it won't ever better.

    Instead, I think sometimes it does get better. It allows me to have my bad days but still look forward to the good days or even the okay days because I'm not being as hard on myself for those bad days. It makes waiting for those good days, or even moments worth it. It makes life worth it because some moments are just so precious. It doesn't make me feel guilty for having a bad day after I have a good day.

    I hope this all makes sense and I hope you know that it's completely okay to not feel okay sometimes! If you're feeling bad right now, that's okay!

    Hey Laura,

    I feel awful because my ex partner, who I broke up with because he wasn't a kind person, was emotionally abusing me, he hit me once and he now is sending me death threats, so I just feel on edge 24/7, I couldn't sleep last night because of it.

    That sounds really scary @Leila

    Have you been able to talk to anyone about these threats he's been making towards you? Nobody deserves to be treated like that. It sounds like this is a very difficult situation to manage at the moment.
