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.

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❤️❤️❤️

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.

if you have only One Thing in your life right now (fandom, perhaps, or mental illness recovery, or a person), i have been there and I am here to tell you: find another thing.
i know it's hard! many things cost money! but you gotta. it will improve your life immeasurably.
you can start very small. perhaps begin to draw even though you think you are bad at it. perhaps make playlists or pinterest boards or powerpoint slides based on your mood. get really into tiny things, or dogs, or yarn.
this will spiral out in wonderful ways! you can build self-efficacy, make new friends, and take a break once in a while from your One Thing. that Thing will benefit from you taking breaks, and so will you.
if you have the time, money, and space, i cannot say enough good things about getting a pet if you're in this situation. got my dog post-divorce and he really helped me out when all i had was misery and regret and my family (no shade to my family but it wasn't working as a One Thing for any of us).
