I Thought Healing Meant I Wouldn't Feel Like This Again

I used to think healing meant I would eventually stop having bad mental health weeks. That if I did enough therapy, enough self-reflection and enough healing, the sadness would simply disappear. But healing hasn't removed my difficult days. It has changed how I meet them. This is for anyone who has ever wondered if they're failing because old feelings have returned. You're not alone, and you haven't gone backwards.
