Keep it up, man. Does it get easier? I look at what I need to do to fix my broken mind and sometimes I think I'd rather lie down in the snow than keep climbing. Do you ever get to stop climbing?
You’re never really out of the woods, but you get better at finding your way out and choosing not to venture too deep.
I said something similar only a couple days ago. Then I realized, that's not what I want; what I want is for the pain and hurt to stop. What a long coming revelation that was.
It takes time. Like what @evincarofautumn said, you get stronger. Never forget where you come from. Efforts count. Collect some useful tools. You might try http://www.7cupsof tea.com
