When supportive words might not be true?

I've read one type message this week two or three times on various social media sites. It is,
"Through all your obstacles, you've gone this far and be proud of how far you've gotten .."

But what if your obstacles have given you affliction like PTSD and you've not really gotten far after several years??? It's a wonderful thought but sometimes we remain stuck after horrible situations, and have not been thriving, as some quotes might relay. 😢

A rear-view mirror only shows you what is behind you.
The key to overcoming the obstacles of life is to not treat them as "objects in the mirror that may be closer than they appear" but rather, as something you have passed and grows smaller by the second.
Let things go. Create a path to reach a simple goal that will satisfy you and don't stray off of it.
Every positive step towards achieving it leaves the past where it belongs and your brighter future closer to your grasp.
Works for me...good luck
