Is it getting any better?
I guess so but…
Why does it need to take so long..?
When bad things happen, when there’s trauma, pain, and/or grief, time can seem to go so slow… Of course time is always the same, but we’ll experience it in a different way… Which makes it feel like a week or two have lasted as long as a month. Or something to that effect…
As my perception of time was askew and distorted, it was hard to really know if I was making any decent recovery. I had no experience with the trauma I’d suffered (for which I was grateful, and I wish that I still would not have that experience), and the pain and nightmares were disturbing my night’s rest, making it even harder to fully understand how fast, or slow, my progress went. I didn’t know the “usual” recovery time for something like this, so how was I supposed to know if I was doing well?
