One thing we have to mature in is realizing that we are not responsible for fixing other people and their (mental health) problems. It is not our job AND it will never be sucessful. You're not a liscensed therapist and any attempt you do at being one despite that will result in chaos. I get that it feels good to be helpful, it feels like a good deed, but it isn't, you're actually enabeling people a lot of the time, keeping them away from seeking out professionals plus you are ruining your own mental health. And a lot of the time we don't even realize that we have some sort of helper syndrome or saviour complex that is actually something we ourselves need help with. Just something to think about.

Due to personal reasons I will be loving myself with my whole heart
Abusive parents will straight up talk in front of their kids like the kids were a bad investment. They'll say shit to the kid like 'after all you cost me' like they're a stock in some company and the value isn't to their expectations. Like they're losing out on a bet they made 10 years ago.
They say that to kid's faces. Shamelessly. Without considering that maybe they're revealing themselves to be a monster in this scenario.

When you think 'but what if my parents were right' thats just the devil talking. Your parents were speaking nonsense. They didn't care if their words held truth, they were interesting in manipulating your point of view and convincing you that something is wrong with you. They were incentivized to keep you helpless and dependent and your self esteem low. They didn't even know enough about you otherwise to make a fair judgment. And they're disgusting freaks who abuse children, this is not the people whose opinion of you matters.
They were wrong about you and will forever be wrong.
unironically love the phrase “but I’m being so brave about it” because truly, like, what other choice do we have in this wretched existence? what a beautiful way to remind yourself to keep going, even if only out of spite
Not many people talk about how deep emotional neglect hurts you.
I’m afraid to want things. I’m afraid to ask for help. I’m afraid to tell someone something if they seem in a bad mood. I can’t process when someone is nice to me. I can’t handle rejection, but my brain literally short circuits if someone gives me a compliment to the point where sometimes the rejection is better.
There are lots of overlap with emotional abuse, but emotional neglect hurts just as much. And it’s even worse that it usually goes undetected, so a lot of people can’t tell they’re being neglected until it’s too late.
When you lose weight because of your illness and people start telling you how good you look when it wasn't even something you wanted and is now actively harming you
just because you got shot down when you asked for help doesn't mean you were wrong to ask at all
*through gritted teeth* you are not a child taking a test with the purpose of getting the highest score, you are an adult trying new things and finding ways to enjoy your life, make mistakes, be a beginner, be mediocre, be where you need to be, be unlikeable, just. be.
recovery can be difficult and can take a lot longer than you expected. don’t be hard on yourself for getting burnt out. have compassion even when it feels like your not recovering “fast enough” or “correctly.” everyone is on their own path.
