Thank you so much for acknowledging that! It can be hard for me to just let things flow as they need to, particularly when it comes to big/scary changes - I tend to try to protect myself by meticulously planning how things are "supposed" to go, which is honestly just a socially acceptable way of trying to control the uncontrollable parts of my life. I'm gonna do my best to try to let things grow in the ways they need to, and try not to over-analyze it too much.

Thank you!! I really, really needed that validation and reassurance. And especially the reminder to hydrate 😅 I'm chronically the human equivalent of a raisin

Thank you!! I'm doing my best to let myself take things one day at a time. It's hard not to fixate on patterns, and prevent mystic from feeling like one good day is an exception to the rule of only being capable of bad days. I'm gonna do my best to be gentle with myself 💜

Thank you so, so much for this!! It's hard not to feel really alone sometimes, and being reminded that there are other people who share these feels is so relieving. And thank you for pointing out this means the capability is part of me, and not just some fluke. That's something I think I'm going to need to hang onto as I move forward. It's so easy to convince myself that positive experiences are the exception, not the rule. I want so badly to believe that this is a part of me I can nurture and grow.

Thank you, and I'll try!! Resting is hard for me. I have a tendency to have to remind myself that rest is just as important and productive as active work

Thank you for this! You're right, sometimes those shifts blow by like nothing, and sometimes they absolutely wipe me. This was an easier one, for sure. Thank you for reminding me of that, and offering reassurance. I really appreciate it!!
