daily reminders
no human being is 100% happy 100% of the time
being a person is extraordinarily difficult even in the best of times
this is not the best of times
someone is grateful you exist (don't argue, it's true)
a bad day does not predict a bad existence
it's gonna be okay

If you are doing better with your symptoms right now, please know this does not mean you faked your disability or that you were being “dramatic”. You are still valid. It is normal for symptoms to fluctuate.

On days you feel exhausted but frustrated because you feel like you haven’t done anything to be this tired, think about these things:
How longe since you’ve had a good night’s sleep? No nightmares, no waking up multiple times, actually going to bed early, not having insomnia, actually waking up feeling rested and ready to face the day?
How long has it been since you ate a properly nutritious and wholesome meal?
How long since you’ve taken a break from work without thinking about all the work you will have to do later?
Are you currently fighting any illness? Remember your body takes energy to recover.
Are you really “doing nothing” if you are constantly overthinking the fact you feel unproductive, if you are constantly stressed with the things you do and don’t do?
Have you had bad/no social interaction lately?
Are you in any physical or mental pain?
Are you taking care of everyone but yourself?
Does trying to live during a pandemic and world crisis brings you worry and stress?
Are you feeling anguish over all the burdens you have to carry but don’t seem to be able to do everything you feel like you should be doing?
Are you constantly worried? Anxious?
It doesn’t feel like you have been doing nothing now, does it? It feels like you have a lot going on that you have to deal with daily, even when you don’t consciously notice it. There is a lot of stress inducing factors around you and struggling is okay.
It is not easy to be human sometimes, so please, don’t pressure yourself so much when you are already trying to cope. If it feels like everything is too heavy, please ask for help.
Please take care of yourself. 🌱

anyway literally everyone is going through something all the time!!! everyone is wounded!!! everyone is human & no one makes it out of this life unscathed!! maybe try approaching people in good faith instead of always defaulting to the worst possible interpretations of each other

shout out to people who's family isnt entirely bad or entirely good, but something in between and you dont know how to feel about them. you feel angry but you also feel guilty, because you know they genuinely love and care about you, but sometimes they show it in a way you know its not okay. your feelings are valid, your anger and sadness and grief are valid, and you dont have to prove this to no one. bigger shout out to those with memory issues who know something isnt right but can't recall all of the bad events, only the feelings, which only increases the guilt.

You don't have to do your absolute best every single day to be loved. You don't have to exhaust 100% of your energy every day and get everything done that's on your to-do list. You're allowed to rest and have days off and do fun things to recharge. Your worth is not measured by the ammount of work you do.

Only with self compassion are we able to move on from the past. Forgive yourself. Allow for yourself to heal from yesterday.

Every day is a new opportunity to create the life you want. It’s easy to get stuck in a rut, but remember that change starts with small steps. Start with one small thing today and watch it grow. It might be something as simple as smiling at a stranger, or taking a different route to work. The small things add up, and before you know it, you’ll be on your way to creating the life you want.

repeat after me:
on the other side of fear, there is relief.
on the other side of fear, there is success.
on the other side of fear, there is love.
on the other side of fear, there is joy.
on the other side of fear, there is contentment.
on the other side of fear, there is result.
i decide that my fear is not an ocean; it is a line.

If you value the moon in all its phases, remember to do that for yourself too. You are valued and magical in all your phases. 🌸

you need to be earnest. you need to tell people that you love them. you need to speak on how you’re feeling honestly. you need to be sentimental. you need to stop letting the fear of other people laughing at you have so much control over how you express yourself. you need to get over yourself. you need to be embarrassing but true.

Please don’t feel guilty for using your spoons on something you love. On something that is deemed “not productive”.
Doing the things we love is crucial to our mental health and I think that’s pretty damn productive.
