Maybe all I can do is uncontrollably cry - inconsolably. That's okay 🫂 I can make room for my sadness.
I'm safe to feel, express and then move forward. For now, let's just feel

Random things I want to reaffirm for myself:
I need to be someone that loves me - CONSISTENTLY.
Boundaries protect me and allow other people to know how to treat me.
Communication and comprehension are equally as important.
Maintaining my standards saves me from unnecessary heartache, headache, and stress.
See people for who they are and how they are, not for who they pretend to be.
Maintaining honesty and transparency starts internally first.
Honesty doesn't have to be insensitive and tough love doesn't have to feel like an attack.
The people who love me will stick around (and have 🫶🏿🥹).
I am so much more than my thoughts (positive, negative or intrusive).
Compatibility shouldn't be forced.
Patience yields some of the best rewards.
Forgiveness is for me and not the other person.
Happiness is found inside as well as outside of my comfort zone.
Growth is not linear.
Healing from trauma is important so that I can become the person I want to be and so I don't view the world through a traumatized lens.
Taking the time to be proud of me and celebrate my accomplishments is important.
Some people that come into my life are blessings and some people are lessons.
The essence of life is change so I don't expect much to stay the same.
I am more than my diagnosis and some symptoms can be used as super powers.
Don't compare my journey to anyone else's - no one else is me nor am I them.
TOUCH SOME GRASS (lol don't be chronically online)
Maintain my hobbies, my interests and all in life that brings me joy outside of the people I have in my life.
Fall in love ♥️ fall in love with the Sun, with the moon, with the breeze and with every aspect of life (good, bad or indifferent).
Not everything warrants a reaction or response. Nor does everything in this world deserve my attention.
Never be afraid to show humility.
Keep my ego in check.
Healing, changing my perspective and growing into the person that I want to become is going to take time and patience. I deserve empathy, understanding and grace from myself.

Having survived abuse from people with mental illnesses, I know the urge to warn others to be wary of those mental illnesses. I know how often it can feel like that is your only power in life…the only action you can take against what you went through. But listen. Just because a mentally ill person caused you complex trauma, doesn’t mean you get to generalize and slander and malign every person with that mental illness.
You do not have to forgive your abusers. but you do have to heal without spreading stigma and misinformation. you do have to heal without antagonizing or dehumanizing others who are also just trying to heal. you have to help break the cycle. because nobody can heal alone.
