 I keep thinking that I'm never gonna get better. Anxious people seem to think that this particular thought is special and requires some sort of special coaching or instruction to get through. It's not special. It's just an anxious thought like any other. It's one full of doubt. It might be one spawned from frustration or struggle in your recovery, which is normal and natural and to be expected. But just because you think that you might never get better doesn't mean that that thought has any sort of validity to it. You might be struggling today. That's okay. We all struggle in recovery. But the best way to handle the thought that you might never get better is to recognize that it is a thought. You are just thinking again about something that's really important to you. So it feels really urgent and special. But then get up and take some action toward recovery. It doesn't matter how small that action is. And it doesn't even matter if you hit it out of the park. You might stumble a little bit. But the best way to respond to the thought that you'll never get better is to do the best you can to get better and let it play out as you go. Don't get stuck in that trap. It's not helping you in any way.
