sometimes hearing bad news is encouraging. I was talking to my counselor about the challenge I'm going through at the moment and one of the things that came out of our discussion is that this problem - the one I'm going through at the moment - is not just some random thing out of the blue. There are many issues that led up to this over a long period of time.
It was strangely encouraging to think about that. It's easy to think, at the moment, that this is a disaster and it's all over. Things are bad. Things are really bad.
It was encouraging to see what's happening now as part of a journey and to stop expecting myself to be able to overcome it easily or to make progress quickly.
