hi ! i haven’t been online for a while, and I thought I’d make a post just to let people know i’m okay. i started full-time education again which takes up a large potion of my time and energy, and as i learn to manage better this account becomes more of a chore than a comfort. i never want that to happen so i think it might be time to give this account a rest. i probably won’t delete but here’s me officially saying i won’t be active, and thank you all for supporting me through a bad time and making this community such an nice place <3

Liberation

You’re allowed to mess up sometimes. Everyone messes up. It’s okay to get into an argument or be critiqued. I dwell on criticism. Convince myself I’m worthless and disappointing, when in reality, we’re not defined by the words that chip away at our self worth. You aren’t loved because your role in their life is to make them happy. You are loved for you. Flaws and everything else in between.

Remind yourself, the fights and disagreements don’t define the relationship. They don’t define your self worth. Those who love you are allowed to express frustration. Every relationship comes with disagreement.

It’s how we respond that can either facilitate growth and healthy communication, or create inner turmoil that leads to pushing those who love us further and further away.

Stable relationships aren’t labeled as stable because they’re perfect, their stability is defined by our ability to recognize disagreements as opportunities that can lead us towards deeper intimacy. Intimacy not only in a relationship, but within ourselves as well.

Talk it out. Explain how you feel. Recognize that you are not defined by criticism. Remind yourself of the times you’ve been frustrated or annoyed by a loved one. Did it make you reevaluate the value they add to your life?

You’re so much more than a critique or a mistake. You are loved for being perfectly imperfect.

taking medication for your mental illness does not mean you are weak. it means you’re strong enough to take the necessary steps in order to get better.

some days are just rough but they won’t all be

[positiveautistic-deactivated202]

Take a moment to breathe. Notice: you are okay, you have survived, and you have made it. You are going to make it. You are alive. And you are breathing. Your heart is beating, you exist, and you are strong, you have survived.

recovery isn’t always a streak of good days. you can have a bad day. you can breakdown. you’re still on your way, and you will make it there

gentle reminder

it’s okay if you’re not 100% productive every second of every day – do what you can, when you can, and make sure to give yourself time to do the things you want to alongside the things that you need to
