Exposing Depression For The Liar It Is

More or less this is a blog for me to verbalize my experiences with depression, but if anyone who stumbles across this blog wants to, I’ll post your confessions anonymously.

Even though we may feel broken inside, we can still heal. ❤️️ It’s okay to not know how yet- I’m still learning and trying things myself.

You can’t expect yourself to go from a negative mentality to a positive one overnight, but every time you correct a bad thought you are growing! So focus on your growth, not the fact that you aren’t “there” yet.

Yo just a heads up, when you start loving yourself loudly and setting healthy boundaries, you’re gonna piss off any toxic people around you.

Just thinking about people making year-end summaries of their accomplishments and also about reasons to keep yourself alive through the next year. Sorry, it’s a bit of a sappy comic.

A cute comic and some good advice! Go on and add this one to your toolbox, anxious friends ❤️

A loose transcription can be found here, for VI folks using screenreaders.

It’s not that you have issues…… it’s that you have a tendency to continue using instincts you picked up in childhood that are no longer useful to you on your journey towards achieving openness and intimacy and reliability in your personal relationships w others. It’s not that you’re defective or difficult or incapable it’s just that what you learned to do to save yourself from the experience of abandonment or rejection or ridicule or failure is not helpful here anymore and you need to start thinking creatively and collaborating on better ways to cope with that instrinsic fear that you are not correct, that you are faking, that you will be found out and left, whatever it is

You gotta understand that some people never really grow. They never learn their lesson. They never recognise their mistakes, they never acknowledge their faults, they never admit they were in the wrong. You will never receive an apology from them, and you will never see their behaviour change.
