thinking that what happened “wasn’t bad enough” is a sign that it was.

your brain wouldn’t be trying to protect itself from the reality of what happened if what happened didn’t hurt you.

questioning if your trauma “counts” as trauma is a sign of trauma.

no more talking to myself i am not good for each other

[peachybeesplease]

shit dude, here’s to all of the quiet victories. the things that other people take for granted but are so, so hard for you. the way your voice didn’t shake when you ordered your drink, the time you felt a swell of pride at something instead of shame, how you got out of bed after only the second time hitting snooze even though you couldn’t imagine anything more difficult than facing another fucking day. fucking cherish those. relish them, rejoice in them, do not let anyone pluck them from your grasp because they are yours and they are important.

Mentally healthy people baffle me. Like how are some people just... Coping.. with all this??? And being productive and finding fun things to do?? And not crying on their bedroom floor all evening???

Reminder to self:

I do not need to be in control.

Even when chaos swirls around me.

There is One who is bigger and better and stronger and so much more capable of being in control.

He sees me, and all my anxieties, and all the pain and fear.

And he is still in control.

sometimes praying is like

Dear God,

-incoherent screaming-

[christ-be-all-around-me-deactiv]

luckily the Holy Spirit can translate!

[power-and-love]

”hi God, all i really have to say is *cries*”

[caffeinatedcatholic]

Me @ God: *incoherent screaming*

Holy Spirit @ God: help her

[toomucherin]

In case y'all didn’t know this is literally exactly what the bible says Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. Romans 8:26

I never get tired of this video. His little legs galloping… gah, so cute!

[auroradragon1]

It’s a pacifier! He’s stolen a baby’s binky and he’s so excited. Adorable.

Feeling sad? Have a mighty hunter.

People with anxiety don’t have a train of thought. We have seven trains on 4 tracks that narrowly avoid each other when the paths cross and all the conductors are screaming.

Doubt

So.. I wrote this poem (kinda a spoken word thing I guess cos the rhythm is weird unless you speak it but ah well.) Just as a disclaimer: this is not supposed to be about what I actually believe, it was written on a really bad anxiety day, and is about some temporary doubts I was having. I know now, and knew at the time, the answers to all these questions, but sometimes doubt around them kinda just hits you in the face ya know? Anyways, here goes:

Are you there?

When the walls close in

Are you there?

When I try and see you but my mind is cloudy

Are you there?

When the voice of the enemy is raging and constant

And the voice of truth is far

Lord, my God, are you there?

Are you listening?

When I say I can't bear it

Are you listening?

When I beg you to save me from the voice in my head

Are you listening?

Are you true?

When I'm sifting through lies

Are you true?

When your word tells me one thing but my mind says another

Are you true?

Do you love me?

When I'm not being lovable

Do you love me?

When all logic says that it is not possible

Do you love me?

When I know my own brokenness better than your heart

My Lord, my God

Do you love me?

Lord, God

When you say I AM

Are you?
