its ok to make mistakes i think. its ok to spend years being dizzy and drained and distant. theres always time to right ur wrongs and ur never a lost cause. u are not ur mistakes and ur goodness and worth is never determined solely from one moment in time. life is large and long and there will always be time, now and forever

And so the story starts again.

A response to this morning’s negative thoughts: I am fat. I am pretty. End, stop, period. Someone will like me, every single fat roll, stretchmark, and jiggly part.

i thought of something, around 6 am, after a series of dreams in which i felt depressed and lonely and awful about myself. I don’t want to keep falling into these wallowing pits.

So I decided I’m going to do two things. Whenever I start feeling negatively, I’m going to acknowledge it. I’m going to stop and think “It’s ok to feel that way. Why am I feeling this?”

And then i’m going to lean into it, work through it, and try to make myself feel better. So, say, I’m lonely. Ok, I’m probably feeling that way because I haven’t spoken to my friends in a while. I can remind myself that it’s a two-way street, make a list of reasons that show my friends don’t hate me, and then send them messages.

Something along those lines. I want to feel better. I don’t want to keep pulling myself down.

I just need to accomplish one thing every day, and that’ll be enough. Even if it’s just getting dressed before noon. Every little bit counts

a list of personal accomplishments from 2017

Told my mom about my depression and got the help I needed.

Drove and drove and drove, through complicated traffic and different states (i only got my driver’s license last november)

Got a job that I love in my field! A job that’s helped me to learn and grow, both in a professional environment and in myself

I got a raise in said job! I’ve only been working there 9 months, but my bosses are so kind and wonderful

Published my first book!! Even if it’s small, even if it didn’t get a lot of reviews or purchases, I’ve done it. I’m a published author.

Pushed myself to overcome my faults. I signed up for a couple different dating sites, and maybe I wasn’t perfect at it, but I did manage to meet some new, fun people.

Went on a trip with my best friend for the first time ever, alone, just the two of us. All the planning done by us. An adventure!

Wrote not only the sequel to my published book, but another book as well, in a little less than a month!

Realized that I need to better my coping mechanisms. I’m a human, I have faults, but I can’t let them consume me. I should love, I should laugh, as much and as big and as loudly as possible. I should revel in the things I enjoy, instead of dwelling on the things I hate. I’m still learning, but I’m already feeling the benefits of this

Survived. Maybe I didn’t live, maybe I didn’t thrive, but I made it through this year. And that is a huge accomplishment on its own

it’s easy to feel like nothing good happened this year. There are large swaths of time where I can’t think of anything good that happened. But even then, I got through it. That’s an accomplishment; I got through the tough times.
