Idk what category to put this under.
I feel so underwhelmed.
I started working out, going to the pool, doing ecstatic dance, getting massages, going to sound journeys.
I felt great.
Now, a couple months later, I feel sad.
I want to cry all the time.
What is wrong with me.

Nothings wrong with you. Life is a roller coaster of emotions. Keep up with your sobriety and talk to someone. I have a counselor and this helps keep me in the now and reminds me to "hold on to the big f'n deal". It's a big deal to be sober. And your killing it. Be proud of yourself. All the hard work will pay off.

Nothing is wrong with you. It is totally normal to be sad and even grieve the person or life you used to be or have. Being sober is hard, staying sober is even harder and that stress can be a lot. Sit with your feelings. Acknowledge them. If you feel like crying then cry.

This is the curse of Sisyphus. Once you crest the mountain, instead of an inspiring landscape you find yet another slope to climb. I’m going through it right now as well. I have to remember in times like these that it’s back to the basics. Remembering to eat well, and get to sleep on time. Trying to stay as consistent in healthy routines as possible. Forgiving myself for not being who I think I “should be” and remembering that I’m a h of a lot better off than where I was 11 months ago. Just focus on the basics and keep in mind that progress is not linear and your best looks different every single day.
The enemy doesn't want yu happy.
