This is a powerful lesson that I’ve learned over the years: you cannot predict what might happen/how you’ll feel tomorrow.

When you’re feeling emotionally raw it’s very easy to feel like the negativity will continue; the essence of depressive thinking.

If the least you can do is go to bed feeling crap at the end of the day this is just how it is sometimes. Chances are you’ll feel better the following day and positive things will happen which makes you forget how raw you felt the previous day. This is why it’s imperative to never pick up that first drink/drug as this is erasing any chance of the next day being positive.

Good post brighterday, things never stay at a low ebb continuously.

Yes, it's so good to remember that feelings are fleeting.

Just because the road is rough, doesn't mean your destination will be rough. We never know from one day to the next what will happen.

That's totally what I've been noticing, except for me a lot of times it isn't a matter of today vs. tomorrow but 1 o'clock vs 2 o'clock. I would say that my overall energy has been positive, but when those lows hit, they can be paralyzing. The good thing is that I'm learning that the lows eventually end. It's more a matter of riding them out...it almost feels irrational. Like it's literally a chemical change taking place rather than me reasoning my way into or out of these states.
