a reminder

Your needs are just as important as everyone else’s. Repeat. Your needs are just as important as everyone else’s.

My therapist gave me a list of coping thoughts and mechanisms awhile ago, and one of the thoughts is “short term pain for long term gain”. Of all the things I read, this one really hit me. I can do this. Holidays are hard, but I can do this. I deserve happiness and support. I’m not a bad person. This is not completely my fault. I am good, and I will be okay.

Me @ me

It is okay for people to be better than me at things. It is ok for people to suggest different ways of doing things to me, and it does not mean they think I am an idiot. It is okay for my loved ones to go out with friends, spend time doing other things, and have activities/a life without me. It is okay when they reply neutrally rather than affirmationally. It is okay when people leave and has less to do with me than I think. It is okay to enjoy the company of someone only for a time. It is okay for me and my partner to disagree on things. It is okay for people to not text me back. It is okay for my friends to be better friends together than they are with me. It is okay to party, have sex, stay home, or sleep in if I do so safely and in moderation. It is okay to keep my thoughts to myself. It is okay to not react. It is okay to not participate. It is okay to be authentic instead of pleasing everyone.

Does anyone with extreme anxiety have any good coping thoughts for an issue with staples? My brother is having some troubles.
