Getting Better Isn't Linear—And It's Annoying

o one of the things I've been dealing with as of late are health issues, both physical and mental. I'm going in and out of doctor's appointments, in therapy, getting tests, and taking meds and vitamins.

Overall it's going well, but it's also really frustrating because some days feel great—almost normal. Then there are other days that are a slog and lead to slipping back into old habits and bad patterns.

I don't really know why I'm writing this one down...I guess I really just want to share my experiences as a human. Hope it helps.
