Hi, i hope who ever reads this is well. 
A bit about me. Im a returning member (different username) from years ago. (I tried to use my old user name, but it didn't want to work. ) I had a complex childhood and then my 20's were a bit hectic. I am now in a very settled situation. But my mental health issues are still there and not good. I have CPTSD and social anxiety disorder. Sometimes I feel like Im getting better, then out of nowhere it hits me again.

Hi there, welcome back. I can really relate to what you wrote about it just coming out of no where again.

It absolutely gets better. I am 35, and my late teens and 20s were a night terror. Finding a stable space is very important, and that sometimes can trigger a lot of buried things. As if your body can safely process things now and put the files in the correct folders so to speak.

... But it gets easier. It gets predictable... And the lows become less low.

Hi I Love Coffee and welcome back  :heythere:

I love coffee too! It does seem that these things keep coming back to us but we also do evolve. It sounds like you are settled in some ways and congrats on the healing and hard work you've already done.
