You will not stay stuck in the same patterns forever. You are capable of change. It might be small and you may not be able to see the change day to day, but over time things will get better.

"You didn't become selfish. You became harder to manipulate ♡ and I'm so proud of you for it."

I would rather die having been someone that loved openly than dying and having kept it all to myself. Who cares about being embarassing, about caring too much. There's no shame in telling someone your feelings, in admitting you're excited to see someone, in just enjoying someone's presence. You can just admit to someone what you see in them, if you think they look nice. You can be silly and everything else, who fucking cares. Being who you are with always outweigh any benefit that keeping to yourself may bring.

"No one remembered my birthday-" Well, but did YOU tell anyone it was coming up and you wanted to celebrate it with them?

"I wish someone would see through it when I tell people I'm fine-" Well, but have YOU considered not lying when people ask you how you're doing?

"I am so resentful of my friend because they keep doing this thing that really bothers me-" Well, but have YOU directly communicated that the thing is bothering you?

"I am burning out because my friend keeps expecting me to help them with serious struggles-" Well, but have YOU tried to establish the boundaries you need to feel okay?

"No one ever asks me about this thing I really care about-" Well, but have YOU brought it up yourself?

"I miss my friend but they haven't texted me-" Well, but have YOU been reaching out to them?

Sometimes people are mean, uncaring assholes, in which case you get to be mad. But sometimes you just need to communicate better. Try communication before you assume someone doesn't care!

Did u get my vibes man?

What you call self-sabotage might just be your body saying: "Familiar pain feels safer than unfamiliar peace"

What you call procrastination might just be your body saying: "I'm overwhelmed and everything feels too much"

What you call anxiety might just be your body saying: "I've been in danger before, and I don't know if it's over yet"

What you call neediness might just be your body saying: "I didn't get what I needed, and I'm still longing"

What you call overreacting might just be your body saying: "This feels like danger to me because it once was"

What you call emotional instability might just be your body saying: "I was never taught that feeling emotions could be safe"

What you call resistance might just be your body saying: "I don't feel safe enough to do what you want me to"

What you call laziness might just be your body saying: "I'm frozen because I had to work hard for too long"*

What you call numbness might just be your body saying: "I had to shut down to keep you safe"

What you call avoidance might just be your body saying: "Im not ready to face this yet. I need slower exposure to it"

*gentle reminder that body gets tired also after doing mentally draining work/job (which includes feeling stressed too, not just studying or working 9-5 in front of a computer -which holds responsabilities, anyway)

Because not everyone knows about it, this is just a reminder of spoon theory:

You start off the day with only so many spoons in your drawer. And doing tasks takes spoons. Getting out of bed, brushing your teeth, going to work or school, making art, spending time with loved ones, everything takes spoons.

And if you are disabled or injured or mentally ill, you often have less spoons than society assumes. Your spoons are in the sink because washing them takes energy (spoons) you don't have.

It's okay to not be able to get everything done and to prioritize or deprioritize tasks so you can live a bearable (or even joyful!!) life. Managing your spoons is difficult and you don't have to be perfect at it.

You are worthy now. You are enough now. You deserve happiness now. Your life is happening now. Not later, now.

i think i have made up my mind about how i’m going to get help. i want to go to the hospital eventually, just not yet. the plan i have will be carried out sometime after august 15th( there’s a show i want to work at theater before i do this). i’m going to show my therapist any scars or cuts i have. i will ask her what i can do with hospitalization and work out my best option. i’m hoping for partial hospitalization. i think this is the best thing i can do.

uhh yeah posting this so i can rember it!! if anyone has tips on how to do this in a different way ( like safer, easier, less direct) than feel free to tell me <3
