Abstract
The content describes the author's recent struggles with their mental health. They have been experiencing a relapse into old habits and feelings of hopelessness, which has led to a sense of isolation, lack of motivation, and an inability to find pleasure in the things that once brought them joy.
The author expresses feeling discouraged by the perceived lack of progress, as if all their previous efforts were for naught. They describe their room and appearance as a reflection of the chaos and mess they feel inside, and wonder if there is a way out of this situation.
The author acknowledges that while people tell them it's okay to feel this way, it's hard to believe when they are in the midst of the struggle. They long to feel "normal" again and to find laughter and excitement in their life.
Despite the challenges, the author holds onto the hope that things can get better. They express a belief that next week, they may be "somewhere laughing," and that they will continue to tell themselves that "maybe tomorrow will be better." The author promises that they will be fine, even if it's a long and difficult journey.
