The truth rings clear: my body needs rest.

The truth rings clear: my body needs rest.
I watched those ten years on my recovery clock decrease back down to zero. It felt as though every bit of hard work that I’d sewn into my recovery had been undone.
Right now. What better time to thank ourselves for how far we’ve come...
These statements, to us, are not up for debate when it comes to you and your mental well-being. These statements are truths that we believe apply to you despite what society or your mental illness might try to convince you of.
The best you have to offer others will never be a cure-all method, a one-size-fits-most fix. The best you have to offer will always be yourself.
I don’t need to always see the light or carry this burden myself.
There’s no way to deny it—this year is different. As we welcome May and Mental Health Month, we’re not only addressing the very thing our work centers on, but there’s also talk about a pandemic, an uncertain future, and physical distancing.
With everything that is happening in the world right now, I feel my depression starting to resurface—it’s waking up with a vengeance as I physically isolate.
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.
All signs point to joy. All calculations add up to delight. So why the hell do I feel so afraid and sad?
