There is so much more to life than what is happening in this exact moment in time...
More likely than not, you or someone you know suffers from a mental health problem of some kind.
These are the lies depression tells us: You don't matter. You're not good enough. You are hopeless. You are a burden.
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.
Being in constant limbo, a mental battle, “fitting in” everywhere and nowhere at the same time.
How you feel right now is not your forever.
It’s time to start reminding ourselves why we’re alive in the first place, and what good can still come even in the midst of our darkest moments.
I have started to feel less inclined to expect a linear recovery with rainbows and parties and ice cream at every bend.
We are going to keep living, whatever it takes.
I’m afraid that this pain won’t ever go away.
Unweighted and unassuming, here I stand.
When everything else is going well, the problem has to be me, right?
