Always at my lowest

Day 8

Every time where I get extremely down, whether thats because school is bad, my ADHD got worse and I can’t focus, my confidence is shot, and I’m sick (which I am rn), I always seem to relapse. I’ve been fighting a relapse for days now, knowing this is the hardest part and I just got to get past Day 6-11, but I didn’t make it this time. But I’m not gonna get too down on myself this time, because I decided to stop feeling sorry for myself and just get crap done. I think would Jesus spend His time beating himself up if He made a mistake (ik He never did, just saying this for the sake of the conversation)? Yes I need to be repentant, yes I mist give this up, but feeling bad for myself won’t help that. I refuse to give my brain the reward for doing something bad, whether thats mindlessly scroll after I relapse or eat something to make me feel better. No, own up to what you did, ask for forgiveness, and get back to work, cause no one else will do it for you. I had been on for 8 days, and before that it was 19. Ik I can do this, but its time to finally get over myself and get a life.

Ethan you’re awesome. Keep going and you will quit and so will I. I’m reading scripture now to get me through.

The thing is though, my more I go through the motions, the more confident that I feel I can get through it. Mess ups happen, but after a while now I feel more and more like ik God will deliver me, even if its not in the timing I have in mind. Just knowing God has a plan is reassuring, and that there must be a reason for this to keep occurring and a lesson to be learned

Dude I feel like I’m gonna relapse I really don’t wanna but my body is sending me signals that are hard to ignore. My first week has been relatively easy thanks to my continuous prayer, reading scripture, and talking with a close friend about it. But idk right now… I hate this feeling
