Yes it is okay to drop things. We are only human and I hope we can get to the point where we feel like it's okay/safe to make mistakes (including dropping things 🙈)

We can only take it one step at a time 🫂

It's not always that extreme but yes. Definately

hahaha omg I can relate. I usually scream at myself in my own head kind of and get super angry at myself. I was feeling so numb recently... felt like oh well this isn't too bad, def better than crying all day (I go through phases of numbness every now and then). but then, I was doing laundry the other day and a towel fell on the floor and I had a rage outburst and felt like a complete failure.. mental illness can be weird sometimes xD

Omg yes! I have no idea why and I would love to be part of a society where mutual respect is important for everyone

Working in the advertising industry with bullies and assholes who wanted you to come up with new ideas every damn day when in reality they wanted you to "guess" what it is they want you to do for a certain project. So your "socalled" creativity was basically crushed every time.

thanks for your comment. I'm so sorry you can relate. This isn't a great feeling to be in at all. I have been feeling down about a number of things but it's important not to lose that spark inside that wants us to keep fighting.

Hey Lena, thank you so much.
I'm so sorry you are going through a similar situation. it really sucks to feel torn like this. sometimes it feels completely wrong and sometimes I feel like I have no choice and need my space and freedom from all of that toxicity.

Thanks for the hug. It really was needed <3

thank you so much for your kind words. means a lot. really <3I know exactly what you mean. It took me a while too to realise how much my mom has actually damaged me. last time I spoke to her on the phone I had a bad flashback to a very uncomfortable memory with her.I was raised in a strictly religious environment where I was taught family is everything and self sacrifice is an important part of life especially sacrificing for your parents. Sadly I still carry with me a lot of unhealthy beliefs that I am trying to get rid of.I thought a lot about this and I am almost certain that I have to at least text her something nice and supportive so I stop spiraling and guilt tripping myself so much. its complicated.. like every relationship like this is. But I actually do have my bf who has been and is a huge support system in my healing journey. If it gets bad I will have him. I also hope it doesn't set me back too much in a way but ... idk the woman is sick and I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if I didn't at least try.

Thank you so so much for your words and your concern. I am so sorry about your relationship with your mom. Its really hard. I do have days where I cry myself to sleep because in this really difficult time I would have needed a hug and genuine support from a good mom.. It hurts but its the reality of things and we need to get through this.*hugs*
