relapse is not a moral failure. substance use and addiction are not a moral failure. mental illness is not a moral failure. disability is not a moral failure. you have a health condition. you are struggling. recovery is not mean to be perfect, and if you're not in recovery, surviving is good too. i'm glad you're here, and i hope life treats you better soon. please know this is not your fault. you do not need to feel guilty over your own health.

How we get better: a decidedly nonlinear and varied process

Maybe that suffering will slough off us like a crispy sunburn, peeling away gradually in its own time, protesting a timeline faster than its own intention. But slough it will.

Maybe that suffering will cling to us until the last second it’s allowed, like a sucking leech, our humors leaking messily and causing a real scene, relief and vulnerability entwined to tease apart later. But we’ll have time and headspace to do that work.

Maybe that suffering will be ripped off us like a warm blanket on an early winter morning, snatched away by a guiding figure who knows that what we need is more important than what we want, a figure who sighs down with love at our shivering legs. That figure knows a warm future for us that our eyes are not yet mature enough to see.

We are birthed in all sorts of ways. Let us treat each other as gently as newborns.

reminder that it’s okay to eat a big meal or an “unhealthy” meal or snack. it’s important to give your body what it needs and sometimes what it needs is something warm and comforting and tasty. it’s important to be both happy and healthy. one snack, one meal, one day, won’t change your body or your health. you deserve nice things ❤️‍🩹

Sometimes when you’re really struggling you literally just have to force yourself to do the hard things because they help the most. For myself, I have to make sure I’m doing certain things every day to help manage my mental state. I’ve learned that sitting around wallowing is the worst thing you can do. Be like your own little parent, gently make yourself eat a little when you need to, drink water, shower, get some time outside. Something simple like a change of scenery or a good meal or shower can definitely change how you’re feeling for the better!! I say this from experience and with so much love❤️❤️❤️

something that has given me mixed feelings in my trauma recovery is realizing that people, even abusers, can change.

they can! it’s true! and that may seem scary, like maybe it invalidates our responses (such as desiring to cut them out) but the thing is, even if they can change, even if they DO, we do not have to be there for it.

we do not owe them anything. we can leave them if we want. even if they become to best, kindest person in the world, we can still never talk to them again.

my mom has made changes. not as many as she could, but changes. i still hate her. i still limit contact as much as you can when you live with someone. and i’m allowed to. i don’t owe her shit.

i also used to be angry and aggressive as a kid. i wasn’t a bully really, i was kind most of the time, but when i got angry i couldn’t control it and was known to resort to physical attacks. when i finally got to see a psychiatrist, in my report my dad described it as “when he got angry he would go off the rails, like he became a different person”. that was from many factors, primarily unsupported autism and developing BPD + CPTSD from what my mom put me through.

i have changed. i truly have. and that’s fantastic! i no longer hurt people. i can get snappy, especially at my mom, but i no longer verbally or physically attack them. but another part that can upset me, but i realize is fair, is that the people i hurt still don’t have to like me. that’s hard, it is, but it’s fair and they deserve that, because i deserve to hate my mom too.

people can change. but that doesn’t mean we have to stick around for it.

Another pretty good day! I'm playing minecraft again not because I desperately need to distract myself, I do it because I legitimately enjoy it and want to. I'm also showering more regularly, slowly manage to reduce my caffeine intake and go outside more.

I'm making progress. Slowly.

when you come out of depression or other mental illness, especially if it has been going on since your early teens, you start getting to know yourself anew. it's a breathtaking yet really scary process, because everything that your illnesses have been suppressing starts coming to the surface. for example, when I was younger, I had no clue I was autistic! I obviously had autistic traits before, but they were really faint and could be attributed to my other conditions like depression, ocd and ptsd. I became aware of them only when all my mental illnesses stepped back and made room for them. and not only that! I've learned that I'm a pretty cheerful and compassionate person with kind soul and beautiful musical taste, and I'm happy that now I can confidently say who I am, that I see myself clearly, without the veil of pain and suffering before my eyes. and that's beautiful, I think.

Hope not for someone or something specifically, but a general kind of hope. A hope that she might one day have hope.
