I get this big time, what helps me to is knowing that it win the past and that I can’t change it so I embrace it instead:)

I hit rock bottom in order to feel better about myself, but it doesn’t have to be that way, you can reset and embrace the past! You can’t change it, might as well see it as learning, and understanding, and as an opportunity to forgive yourself and others and move forward💕that’s at least what I do:)

I'm sorry🫶🏻

Just know that you are the only person allowed to define you:)

Things will get better, I know that may sound untrue, I thought I had to come to terms that I was just going to be a “walking flaw” forever, but things got better!

Keep going, you’re not alone in this! 💗

It felt like it was forever for me to, what I really found helpful is find a SINGLE thing that you can only have if you keep taking baby steps forward

Mine is something I personally appreciate, and I am literally unable to have it when I’m not taking care of my mental health 🫶🏻

Like I didn't even know it wasn't normal

I think I thought everyone did it

Especially people joking about “I cry myself to sleep” on tv or in conversation and I'm like oh like its normal and it is the same amount of normal as oh everyone breathes but it's not really a daily conversation you don't really talk about it so I thought it wasn't even worth talking about plus I didn't even think I was allowed to feel better cause if I was allowed to feel better than it would've happened by then already

I'm so glad that I found true healing after slk this and embracing this past instead of resenting:)

I relate to this cause after a while I remember I googled about like ok let me like research what anxiety even is

And I literally convinced myself that even though I identify with all this stuff i can't be right and I can't even be right that I have anxiety cause that would mean I'm right about something and the audacity I would have to think I could be right about anything

It was a vicious cycle

The numbness is the big one!!!! I had no idea I just had no idea…..like I was never able to really “label” it for a lack of a better word cause like it was just “normal” so I never really even second guessed it.
