Challenge Quote by Ces Peta
“When you are on denial, it feels like the world just pushed you down in a quagmire. Getting over is like running around in the wilderness, desperately looking for an exit. Letting go is like hoping for a hand to reach you out and help you raise from the ground.”

Denial traps you in a painful, stagnant state; recovery feels like a desperate search for escape, and release requires external support.
In simple terms: Denial feels like being stuck; recovery is a hard search; letting go needs help.
Seek support to move beyond denial.
