“high-functioning” =/= “coping”

Do not let the complexity of your current life drive you back to the simplicity of sickness.

you don’t have to prove yourself worthy of being alive. you don’t have to prove yourself worthy of being here. you don’t have to prove yourself worthy of being loved. there are no terms and conditions to your right to exist.

I don't want to get up. I really don't want to shower. I don't want to work. I just want to go back to sleep and cancel therapy.

When first in recovery, it can feel really uncomfortable to not feel so bad.

It’s something new - that can feel scary.

It can even feel boring - you feel so little, relative to what you’re used to.

Please, don’t let this be a reason to give up the fight.

You will get through this.

Stay strong x

A reminder that you don't need to apologize for honoring your truth.

spreading love and positivity is beautiful, and trying to be the best versions of ourselves is absolutely lovely! but sometimes we will feel furious. sometimes we will feel miserable and like there’s no hope left in the world. and that’s okay, that’s human. It’s okay to allow ourselves to feel the ‘heavier’ emotions. let them be. they will leave on there own, emotions are fluid like that. we can not control how we feel, but we can control our actions. so let those emotions flow, but do not take them out on yourself or others.

Just because you “function” doesn’t mean you don’t deserve help.

[aspecpplarebeautiful]

You know yourself and you know your experiences. If you say your labels are what they are, then that’s what they are.

My brain: have you thought about dying recently?

Me: have you thought about shutting the fuck up recently?

[fallingtones-deactivated2021082]

Even on good days, great days, I still feel the need to end my life. Like an itch I can’t scratch. Like it’s the only good to come out of my existence.
