Anyone relapse

Keep relapsing, forgetting to take care of myself. Struggling to find time to do my cbt homework.

Am I just failure?

Dear Kelly,

Once we know how to fight and Control the Anxiety, I do feel some of us do become a bit careless... especially when we know how something that used to terrify us, can now be controlled.

YOU ARE NOT A FAILURE.

EVERY DAY YOU ARE IMPROVING.

Take it one step at a time.

absolutely you're NOT a failure. the fact that you're asking such a question demonstrates you're working on perfecting your approach to your anxiety.

btw, there's no such thing as a 'failure'. it's just a case of not getting the outcome u expected. so you'll just need to reflect & evalauate & try a modified approach with the new knowledge you now have.

give yourself a pat on the back

Kelly - I have felt that way sometimes too but YOU ARE NOT A FAILURE. by the fact that you are working at it - and that, my dear, is the most important thing.  If you don't take care of yourself, nothing else in your life will work.  Believe me I know.  So, keep on truckin' and American term for keep on going.  You will succeed, in time, but you will.
