These are the lies depression tells us: You don't matter. You're not good enough. You are hopeless. You are a burden.
What do you love that won't be cancelled? Who and what can you rely on right now?
We’re here to remind you that you’re not alone. We’re in this together.
In a way, it’s a good thing—you don’t want a therapist who hasn’t been on the other side of the couch themselves.
I ran until anorexia almost took me over completely. I ran until the scars tallied skin from my thigh to my waist because I couldn’t cope. I ran until I couldn’t anymore.
The thing is, my scars—what should be a sign of healing, perseverance, and survival—can be the most triggering thing.
Even the deepest and darkest parts of my mind know that I am not a burden. The amount of space I require will never change that.
We can’t control how or when grief comes, but we can control how we choose to respond.
There are far more people in this world on your side wanting you to know and be yourself.
