making choices...

...is not always easy.

if you've made a choice that helps you manage a mental health issue better then don't think of it as running from your problems.

because the choice you made must have come with its own set of struggles. it's simply a matter of picking the struggles you want in life.

don't beat yourself up for wanting to accommodate yourself. you deserve it ✨

your friends hating you is a lie pushed by Big Trauma. don't believe it!!!!!

maybe mediocrity isn’t wrong. maybe you don’t need to be the best at everything you do. maybe you don’t need to be the best at anything you do. it’s ok to simply do things because you enjoy doing them. its ok to not want to advance in your job. nothing has to be a competition. you don’t need to be better than anyone. you can do things just because they’re fun. you don’t need to read up on the history, and know everything about it. its ok to just exist. its ok.

be addicted to real dopamine

be in the present and notice those little things you never saw before, but that have always been there

experience new exciting things that bring you joy

love people, listen to them and create meaningful connections

make art and don’t label it as “good” or “bad,” just let your soul be free

stop scrolling on social media and start turning pages of an interesting book

do mindfulness meditation and feel your body and mind calming down

move your body, no matter how as long as you’re enjoying

listen to music that matches the moment you’re in

eat nourishing food, feel your stomach full without discomfort

get a good night of sleep and feel yourself ready for another day

You are not a bother. You are not a burden. You are not a waste of space. You are not annoying every person you talk to. Your existence matters. Your presence makes a good difference.

I found peace when:

I began to trust myself

I accepted the things that I can't change

I realized that not every relationship had to last

I no longer let people dictate how I felt about myself

I started to appreciate the things I had

I accepted my own imperfections

I began to be honest about how I felt

I learned to set boundaries

I started to show up authenticity

I stopped committing to more than I had time for

I stopped trying to "save" or "fix" people

I stopped trying to prove my worth

I stopped explaining myself to people who didn't want to understand me

sometimes the best thing we can do isn't to try and make it easier for ourselves; it's to make it more enjoyable. if you are doing something that you are used to 'powering through' becuase it's hard and necessary but you hate it -- answering emails, working out, drinking water, etc -- try to see if you can find unexpected joy. can you listen to your favorite playlist while you work out? can you listen to asmr or a podcast while you answer emails? put fun ice in your water? you deserve joy, and you can create it for yourself :))

you got to learn to not sabotage the healing process. i know it's hard to not pick at the scabs, i get it. but the wound will reopen and you'll start bleeding again. let it be.

your mistakes do not define you. the trajectory of your life is not ruined because of one slip up. keep going. do not let this moment fester in your mind forever. it can be easy to keep analyzing your mistakes and wondering where you went wrong. but fight the voices that tell you that you could have done better. you are trying your best 🌱☀️

Reminder

Your pain (physical/mental/emotional) is valid even if nobody can see it

Your pain is valid even if you have no physical symptoms

Your pain is valid even if there is no physical injury

Your pain is valid even if others tell you it's not

Your pain is valid even if you do not have a life threatening disease

Your pain is valid even if you don't have a diagnosis

Your pain is valid even if you do have a diagnosis

Your pain is still valid even if nobody believes you

Your pain is still valid even if you are too "young" for the problem/issue

Your pain is valid even if the health care advisor/anybody tells you that it's in your head

Your pain is valid no matter what the conditions are

Your pain is valid.

Pain does not discriminate between age, gender, race, nationality etc. Just because you can't see pain, doesn't mean it's not there.
