Take a moment to put things into perspective. Are you blowing anything out of proportion?

learn to love yourself before you love others

Sometimes it’s just the small achievements

And that’s okay. A little progress is better than standing in place. I believe in you. I believe in me. I believe in us.

Day 1

Hey future me,

This is not really day 1 of my recovery but it’s the first day I’ve decided to document it.

I’ve been in depression for the past three months now and on medication too, but you already know that. Nothing seems to help, and I’m at the point where I’ve started to self-harm and binge drink alcohol. I was away at university and at college, but now I’m back at my parents’.

It was hard telling them, breaking the news that there is something wrong with me, for some reason unknown and it’s dragging me down. I’ll never forget the way my sister cried when she saw my scars. She cried over how I’d prance around in tiny shorts, flaunting my shaped legs (which as you know I’m very proud of, or at least was) and now all I saw was the marks I gave myself.

I’ve gone from being happy, carefree and not giving a shit about people to being unable to walk the corridor because I’m scared everyone’s laughing at me and getting panic attacks over trying to figure out what to eat for breakfast.

Me, when you’re reading this, I hope things are much much better. Sometimes I feel like things won’t get better, but deep down, I still try to keep faith in myself.

Taking time to affirm and remind yourself of your value is very important.
Sometimes just saying kind things about yourself out loud can make a difference.
