Never apologize for burning too brightly or collapsing into yourself every night. That is how galaxies are made. (Thank you to everyone who reached out the few times I posted about my anxiety this past week. While I am in a much better place with both anxiety and depression than I ever have been, sometimes my brain is still a little noisy. I appreciate your care and kindness more than you will ever know. I am always here if you need an ear or a shoulder. We get through this together). #TalkingAboutIt #NoStigma #MentalHealthIsHealth

Recovery is weird. It is difficult and frustrating. It is full of ups and downs and twists and turns. Recovery is a marathon, not a sprint. It is a lot of hard work. Recovery is constant. Recovery is strange and terrifying. It is wonderful. And it is worth it. Hang in there. You got this. • • • #reminder #recovery #eatingdisorderrecovery #recoveryjourney #yougotthis #mentalhealth #talkingaboutit #personal

With handpicked, filtered highlights from our acquaintances glittering all over our timelines, it’s no wonder that so many of us feel lonely when we look at our phones. But what if we could see not only the good moments but the hard ones as well? What if we could look at our timelines and see that we’re not the only ones struggling?
