Confused

I bought the book because it meant so much to me. There is a second part which is focused on recovery. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VRRx7Mtep8

The metaphor of the black dog is so real. In my life, I've had to continually tell myself, "If I feed the black dog, it will continue growing. I need to starve the black dog and feed the white dog". This is something I was first taught through therapy. It's probably less socially-acceptable nowadays.

I urge you to continue hanging in there. There is a life worth waiting for.

Honestly, I never thought I'd make it past my 25th bday as I was living on the edge of death. Yet over 10 years on, I'm still here, and life is so much better.

hey @hairdog how are you going? did you end up having your first appointment?

admitting yourself into that program sounds like a big step, so so proud of you for pushing through and i hope you're proud of yourself too @hairdog i think crying can be good, i hope it's helped relieve some tension.

are there people at the health clinic that you've been able to connect with or reach out to so far? it might take some time to see/feel those changes, but know that it is slowly happening and progress, no matter how little, still counts.

that's amazing to hear you opening up!! @hairdog i'm a big believer of celebrating every win, i'm celebrating this one for you 💙

really glad i got to connect with you! feel free to reach out anytime, hoping the rest of your week continues to brighten @hairdog

I am still struggling again. I don't know if I can make this journey
