#your problems are valid

[amateur-weatherman]

don't know who will see this, or if anyone will but

if you have to deal with it, it's real. if it's out of control, it's real. if you have found a way to manage it, it's real. if you only recently discovered it, it's real. if you known about it forever, it's real. it's still real if you're able to function. it's still real if not everyone notices. it's still real if it only bothers you sometimes.

your problems are still valid if a lot of people deal with them too.

your problems are still valid if other people have bigger problems.

your problems are valid.

Even though other people's problem might be worse then yours, your problems are still valid. They way that they affect you is still valid. You're allowed to tell people about your problems. Nobody is too young or too privileged to have problems.

My wife the other day was talking about how she was going through some shit, but that she didn’t want to bother other people with it bc their shit was bigger and without thinking I just said “stop trying to measure shits”.

Anxiety Tips

1. if you have intsa, my advice is start saving posts with calming music, or an image that makes you happy. i personally save posts of things or people that remind me to calm down and breathe.

2. there are a few free apps that can help monitor or track your anxiety, 7cups is great if you need to talk to someone and Youper helps monitor your anxiety, emotions, and can even help determine the cause of certain feelings over time

3. when you realize that you´re starting to panic, feel your pulse. this can help you focus on a singular thing and can set a good beat for breathing

4. when you feel like a burden and start think that others have it much worse, breathe. take a break and please know that independantly whether someone had it worse or not your problem is still valid, and you deserve love, care and affection. never, ever, ever settle for pity and antagonizing stares. you deserve attention towards your problems. little or big, your problems are problems and they need to be dealt with seriously

5. pick things that make you feel safe at the end of the day. have a designated space where you can relax and let it all out. have a safeness sweater, or a book or just something that can make you feel secure (if you want music, I like to listen to a playlist on Spotify called "Calm the hell down vol.2" and an artists like Khai Dreams or Frad)

Your problems are VALID

It doesn’t matter how many other people’s problems seem bigger, you still have a right to be upset by yours. You can still be tired and stressed when someone else says they’re more tired and stressed.

Whatever problems other people may have, yours are still valid and some people really need to know that.

Just a reminder...

You are not a burden. If someone ever tells you that you are, they are not worth your time. You are so much more than people's hurtful words and if they take the time to say such awful things, don't waste your time with them. They could be the most important person to you, but if they invalidate you or tell you that you are too much for them to handle, clean your life and find people that really are worth your time.

Me: I'm watching my bank account slowly die and I don't make enough to cover my expenses. Then my student loan payment kicks in and I'm even worse off, and-

Person with money: It's not all about money you know.

Me: .... you know what? Fuck you!
