[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 458915, member: 11791"] Short answer: 1) No, you will not stay this way forever. This is where you are at in your journey. It is a process, but you will move forward. 2) None of us can ever to "back" to what we were before. We only move forward, from where we are. You can again become, on some level, healthy and strong, looking after yourself, and so on. But it will be different than before. 3) It takes... however long it takes. There is no magic formula. It it a process. But having said that... please consider that any ONE of the events in your recent history is toward the top of the "life stress" list. You need some time and space to get your feet back under you. Hang in there, Steely. Look for the little things that make a difference. If the gym is a place you like to be (not a place you feel you "should" be), then pursue it. But this is not the time to beat yourself up over what you "should" do. Find a support group - if that works for you. Look for activities that are high on your "feel-good" list, so you have reasons to reach out and up. Take care of yourself. Little by little, you'll start to climb. Then, one day, you discover you're much higher than you thought... and you're ready for more. And when you do get a bad spell - we're here. Come and grab a knot. [/QUOTE]
