I never pop on here anymore, but I just want to say that it truly gets better. A few months ago I was deep in bipolar depression, suicidal, had lost everything I cared about, and felt so hopeless. Today I'm sipping matcha, studying for the admissions test for medical school after hanging out with friends, and learning about my dream subject at my dream school. I've found so much happiness, and I truly love my life. You will too <3.

A month ago I was having a panic attack thinking I would never make it out of a difficult situation after being stuck for many months. Today I'm out of the situation, happier than I've ever been, and excited for the future knowing I can face whatever comes at me. It truly does get better, even if it takes awhile.

Things will get better for you. You have no idea how good it's about to get.

You know that thing you think you'll never get over?

Someday soon it won't consume your thoughts nearly as much <3.

Recovery is a conscious choice. Life might feel really hopeless. It might even feel like everything is falling apart. Sometimes you have to take really small steps. Celebrate the tiniest victories, like taking a shower or leaving your apartment. You don't have to wait for the circumstances to be perfect to start changing your life for the better.

It will get better even if it feels hopeless right now. Manifesting a great 2025 for all of u <3.

Stay alive just to see what happens. You have no idea how good it's about to get <3.

Panic attacks can be the scariest thing you've ever experienced, but this will pass. You won't always feel like this. You will survive. It might be uncomfortable, but it isn't dangerous <3.

Don't let the fear of getting worse keep you from getting better. Rock bottom is a comfortable place, but not a sustainable one.

I'm not saying there aren't people who have privileges you don't, but it IS in fact possible to validate your own struggles WITHOUT dehumanizing everyone else into one dimensional caricatures who are all happily breezing through life getting everything handed to them on a silver platter.

Shoutout to people who have "scary" or misunderstood mental illnesses and are trying really hard to recover and manage it. It's so hard, and you're doing so well. I'm so proud of you. Shoutout to the girlies with schizophrenia/bipolar/bpd/ocd/literally anything else in this realm. You're doing great. Ily <3

this post is long overdue. sending love to the people who are embarrassed to answer when a stranger/semi-stranger/acquaintance asks what you’ve been up to. the answer can feel awkward when you’re in a between stage in life. that’s okay. also, it’s okay to not be at the same place in life as others your age.

Your anxiety is lying to you. It will be alright. This won't hurt you.

[lotuspositivity]

Anxiety is scary, but you are safe. It's uncomfortable, but not dangerous.

You don't have to feel guilty for asking for help. Sometimes you can't handle it on your own and that's okay, too. Even if the people you ask for help don't really understand what's going on.

[lotuspositivity]

It's going to be okay. When you have no one else, you still have the moon and the stars.

You're allowed to find comfort in shitty media.
