Replacing "I dont want to live" with "i dont want to live like this" was v helpful for me because it helped me figure out what parts of my life i was trying to escape and reminded me there are absolutely versions of myself i want to work towards and ways of living i havent experienced yet that i want to see

you have this idea in your head that the only time you’re worthy of being loved is when you’re at your best. you’re still worthy of being loved when you’re at your lowest. you’re still worthy of being loved when you don’t want to go on anymore. you are still worthy of being loved even when you don’t love yourself. you are a human and therefore always worthy of being loved and don’t you fool yourself into thinking otherwise.

Although many people claim the opposite, I think that time is an essential factor in healing. An open wound that is deep and bleeding first needs a lot of care and attention and you might even need to see a doctor to ease the healing process. You do not touch an open wound because it could be infected and get worse, so you do your best to protect it from anything bad. It might hurt a lot, so you try to distract yourself from the pain. You may even need some help with that through taking pills, which is absolutely fine. Over time the wound will heal and a scar will form. All scars will fade eventually, and sometimes they will vanish completely. Just like wounds, you need time to heal; give yourself this time, take care of your pain, give it attention, accept help and distract yourself. By touching the wound, it will reopen again and may hurt even more than before, so make sure to walk away from anything that makes you relive your pain - this is an important part of healing. Of course whatever you are going through will leave scars behind but one day they will have healed as well and though you will not forget the pain completely, one day you might have healed so much that you cannot even see the scar. Give it time, my love, give it time.

“To my fellow humans who go dark on the days where the world expects different: you are not alone. When you feel trapped in a house full of happy people, I promise you are not the only one feeling the pressure. The holidays do not need to be happy or merry to be beautiful and valuable and worthy of life. The people who love you don’t need you to fake a smile or a laugh, they just need you.”

What I quickly found was that the depression that arrived with the bad times didn’t go away once good things started happening. My depression, it seemed, wanted to hang around to see if it could ruin those too. I was no longer in danger of starving to death, but I was still scared every day that I’d be back there again. I felt like I was never truly out of the woods.  If I learned nothing else from my parents, it’s that no one chooses to be poor. They only choose how they handle it. People who have never been in that position find it easy to make suggestions like “just get a better job” or “save more money” as if that’s all it takes.  In my experience, this is true of mental illness as well. I didn’t choose it, but I could choose how I handled it.

“Tell your friend who is struggling with this that you love them no matter what and then show them that you do. It may not seem like much, but more often than not, it can be the difference between someone picking up and using that day or deciding to wait. To not do it today. To live.”

To everybody needing it:

I’m really sorry to hear your day sucked

I’m not sure if tomorrow will be better for you, but it’ll be a reset

You’ll find the courage you need to do That Thing

You are perfectly okay. You’re doing just fine…more than just fine, even. There’s nothing wrong with you. 

Take care of yourself tonight. It’ll be okay.

I know that it’s tough, I know. Life knocks you around and makes you wish you didn’t exist. But I can promise you that it won’t always be that way. It won’t always hurt. You won’t always feel alone. Just hold on for a little longer, friend.

And please, stay alive for me 🌹🌹

things have been blue and crashing and loud and everywhere and overwhelming

i have an inexplicable disdain or disinterest for almost everything nowadays…

except for you.

you are the only existing reason for sunshine and warmth and yellow and pink things.

you are the only existing reason for genuine happiness.

you are needed and important so please even though things get rough

keep going. you give me hope.

i love you.

[theraeandgo]

like i don’t think people say it enough????

you matter so much

it upsets me to think that you’re out there thinking you’re worthless and alone because

that’s not true

there’s potential bubbling and ready to be let free and that fear you have that someone is gonna shit on it is keeping you from being you.

and i think that’s bullshit. its frustrating to think that you hide yourself and that you think you aren’t worth anyone’s time.

you are not nothing.

you are a spark.

you can be so much.

you can do so much.

you have so many paths and possibilities to choose from.

things don’t have to stay like this.

they won’t.

seeing you slowly unravel into these stronger, happier people gives me hope.

i know you all will get there someday.
