Recovery and healing do not always happen with linear progression. Having a bad day or bad week doesn't mean I'm losing my progress.

If anyone knows how to access my mind's Task Center so I can do a force stop on the program Overanalyze Every Social Interaction, advice in the notes would be great.

It's okay to be okay. Having good days doesn't invalidate your trauma or lessen what you went through. It doesn't justify abuse.

(A message to everyone who's heard "but you turned out all right" at some point in their lives.)

There something really beautiful about impermanence, you know? Like the expression "you can't have your cake and eat it too." Apparently it refers to the fact that you can't both have the cake to own and look at and also consume the cake, because consuming it means you don't have it anymore. But isn't that the point of cake? To enjoy viewing while it's here, enjoy tasting while you can, and cherish the memories after? And then, eventually more cakes will happen. They may not be the same, but they will come. And sometimes there are cupcakes, brownies, and other pastries as well.

Nothing lasts forever. Eat your cake and enjoy your life.

If you know anyone who seems really chill to the point of being virtually indestructible, like nothing could ever bother them in any way, could get hit by a train and just shake it off and be totally fine, laughing it off as soon as they've dusted themselves off and stopped bleeding, but who occasionally just randomly falls apart to complete fucking smithereens with seemingly no cause nor warning, only to get back up again a few minutes/hours/days later like "ok yeah I'm fine again that was weird lmao", and you've ever wondered what the fuck is up with that:

They are actually not ok and most likely are not ok at any point. The whole "hardiest person you know who just collapses randomly sometimes" thing isn't a deliberately constructed façade, as a matter of fact it might be something that they actually personally believe themselves to be. But in reality this is somebody who's either unintentionally learned or has been deliberately trained to hide negative emotions and mask symptoms at all costs, as the #1 priority that goes over any other survival needs.

So even though it may look like they go from 1 to 100 completely at random and unpredictably, and then swing right back again to being totally fine, you have no way of knowing how long they've been at 95% before the last line of defense broke down and the system collapsed. And once they flip back up, odds are that they just managed to scrape their shit back together again just enough to get their backup masking systems running. The "check engine" light never turned on because the wire was clipped years ago.

If this is you, this is your callout to seek some sort of help. I'm telling on everyone in this room including myself.
