mental health

I feel like I've made a lot of progress in my mental health, and then a week like this comes along and I feel like I have no resilience against stress. What is different is I can kind of feel the stress consuming or chipping away at what mental stability I have. Some how this makes it a little easier to cope with (but not much.) I do wish I understood how I might fight against the connection. It's really not that much stress too. I asked my therapist how I might build strength, so I'll try to work on what she suggested.

I will still enjoy that there are more good days than bad, but I don't like the idea that it's only because I am avoiding stress and that any time my life gets busy (or blows up) I'll be back to where I was.
