it's never too late to start brushing your teeth again. i basically never brushed my teeth for a whole 10 years. a decade. A DECADE. i still struggle to brush my teeth once a week, but it all started with brushing my teeth once every few months. so i mean it when i say brushing your teeth once a week, a month, a year, or even a decade, is better than nothing.
and still, nothing is not shameful. it is not immoral to struggle with self care. and it is also not pointless to keep trying. anything you can do, even if its wiping plaque off with a towel, is enough. it is good to take care of yourself however you can, even if it's just trying to muster the will to. reading this post is good, too.
i believe in you and i am proud of you, even in the smallest of steps. it's okay. you can give yourself grace.

Shout out to all the tumblr users dealing with daily fatigue and severe depression.
Respect to those who have medium and high support needs who need assistance with bodily functions.
Love to those who cannot safely leave their bedrooms or home due to the pandemic and lack of societal support.
Care to those who spend the majority of their life online because this is the only way they can socialize with the outside world
There are so many of us trying to make it day to day. I love you and you're not alone in this.
I love you people who have to be carried, lifted, or escorted in mobility aids to do daily living tasks
I love you people who depend entirely on your cariers and personal aids for every function
I love you people who haven't been able to shower in over a week and therefore have tangled or matted hair and body odour
I love you people who have been wearing the same clothes for over a week
I love you people who dont have the energy to get out of bed to use the bathroom and need to use diapers or a bed pan
I love you people who havent been able to cook their own meal in months
I love you people who have piles of dirty clothes and trash scattered around their room
I love you people who uncontrollably drool on yourself and your property
I love you people who have slowly lost mobility and function over time and are adjusting to their new life

It’s easy to feel invisible, but if you disappeared so many people would notice and care. The neighbors who always see you walk by, the shop owner or the cashier at your grocery store, the dog next door that likes to bark at you, the person at work or school who’s still working up the courage to talk to you, the friends you think forgot about you when you lost track of each other, the babysitter you had when you were four. You have touched a million lives in perfect little ways. Do not underestimate your importance in this world, you deserve to be here and you are wanted here.

I just want to go back to bed. And stay there. Like forever.

I am more than my darkness. And I would carry it for anyone I know, because it is actual torture when it gets severe. But it doesn't own me, it is NOT ME. It's something I carry, not something that represents my value.
I am more than my darkness.

idk who needs to hear this but the necessary time you spent and things did while recovering from varying delusions, in order to be a functional person, is time not wasted <3

As someone who was cyberbullied into attempting and has struggled severely with major depressive disorder, please:
Don't tell people "kys"
Stop it. Break the habit.
I have started reporting people who do this despite being told the harm it does.

You ever get so hyperfixated on something you're like "everyone in my life could abandon me and I'd be okay with that. Infact I'm not going to put in any effort to keep people in my life anymore because nothing else is important to me. I'm going to lock myself inside my room and never go outisde again and if anyone tries to interact with me im gonna say i have a headache" or are you normal

as long as you're here, there is hope. as long as you're here, something can change. something can make you smile. something can give you peace. something can get better. as long as you're here, a better life is not impossible.
