in case you haven’t heard it today: it’s okay to give yourself patience and celebrate the little wins

-if all you can do is half your laundry today, that’s a half you wouldn’t of had done that is now clean!

-if you don’t have the energy for your whole face routine, wiping it down with water is okay

-if you can’t clean your whole room today, cleaning it portion by portion overtime is stellar!

-if a meal right now feels overwhelming, a snack is better than nothing <3

-if all you can do today is get out of bed, you have succeeded in my books x

all this boils down to is: it’s okay to take it baby step by baby step instead of leap by leap

Some people have ten bad years followed by 25 good ones. Don't give up on yourself just because getting better isn't a quick process.

[advicetosurvivors]

I see many posts about how it's okay to have a bad day or a bad week or a bad month, and I want to add that it is also okay to have a bad year or several bad years. It's okay if it takes you longer than a day or a week to work through your problems - and even if you've been struggling for years, that doesn't mean your entire life is doomed. Sometimes it takes a year, or two years, or five years or more to get better and that is okay. It's okay if your recovery takes time. It doesn't mean you're failing.

You are not a bad human being

[advicetosurvivors]

You are not a bad person for having boundries

[advicetosurvivors]

be healthily sensitive. tell them you're hurt when you're hurt. describe what hurt you. no silent treatment and passive aggressiveness. be honest. don't compromise your emotion. don't bottle it up. weigh the issue. understand and maybe, forgive.

[advicetosurvivors]

nobody deserves to be abused. you didn't ask for it and it's not 'karma' or your fault. nothing you feel you did wrong means that it had to happen. you didn't cause your abuse.

[advicetosurvivors]

You deserve to heal. You deserve to find joy, and peace. 

You should heal because you want to, because you deserve it, and not because you’ve been told you have to. Heal for you. 

[advicetosurvivors]

I think it’s important to acknowledge that people can be abusive even if they don’t mean to be or don’t realize they are. 

But it’s also important to acknowledge that even if someone isn’t being abusive, it doesn’t mean their actions can’t hurt you. 

And in both scenarios, whatever feelings you’re feeling as a result are completely valid.

Anyone can be your cheerleader. Who inspires you, pushes you to be your best and brings it out of you?

Hi! Welcome to advice to survivors. Questions of all kind are welcome here! You just have to send in an ask! Non-anonymous asks should clarify whether or not it's okay to be published with your name attached. If it's not clarified, we'll just send you a message with your answer. We'll try our hardest to answer all asks we receive. Advance warning: inappropriate asks and/or questions we aren't comfortable answering will be deleted. Sorry. This is meant to be a safe place for all! We continuously monitor followers and people who post inappropriate content will be blocked. We are not professionals. If you are in crisis, please contact emergency services. (Suicide hotline website: https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/. Suicide hotline phone number: 1-800-273-8255) We are simply volunteers who want to help others.

DNI if:

- You support rape culture

-Homophobic or transphobic

-Are racist

Please have patience though! It may take a few hours for us to answer your question. Once again. If you are in crisis, please contact your local emergency services! We aren't trained professionals! If you don't feel comfortable sending an ask or would like to have a conversation, our messages are always open! Once again, if you send a message it may take a few hours to get back to you. Most trigger warnings will be written as "tw: ___" or "tw ___" So if you have a trigger, it'll probably be written like that. Just so you know what to block. No trigger is too weird! Please let us know if you need us to add one into the tags! We'll try our best to tag the ones we both know of in each post. But please let us know if you have one that isn't already tagged!
