recovery is not a moral imperative. your moral value does not depreciate for not being more committed to recovery.

[selves-acceptance]

recovery & progress are allowed to be cyclical; that does not mean you are failing.

hello! friendly reminder that you have the right to determine your own healing trajectory, priorities, and values!! nobody should try to tell you what you need to work on or work towards without your consent!!

[selves-acceptance]

you do not have to hold yourselves to abled standards of productivity.

[selves-acceptance]

there is no way to hate myself into becoming a person i like.

there is no way to shame myself into a better life.

i can’t motivate myself to heal in the same ways i encouraged my own destruction.

idk how to tell u that ur worth isn’t measured by what u produce!!! whether that’s ur work or ur grades, ur productivity is not a measure of how much u matter as a person! ur worth is *literally unchangeable* in the best way!!!

there is no perfect way to recover or heal from trauma & no perfect language to describe it.

it’s valid to consider trauma recovery living in the present.

it’s valid to consider trauma recovery as going back to and learning from the past.

it’s valid to consider trauma recovery as looking towards the future.

it’s valid to not like the term “recovery” because it implies going back to a “before”.

it’s valid to like the term “recovery” because of its greater context within mental health recovery as a whole.

everymany is different & no trauma is identical. it makes a lot of sense that everymany’s way of moving forward from trauma will be different too.

anger is not inherently dangerous or harmful.

emotions themselves carry no moral weight.
