Please be kind to yourself! Be gentle and understanding! I know it's cringe or whatever but please be sympathetic towards yourself. 'If you wouldn't say it to someone else don't say it to yourself' and all that. I know it's hard and it can be so discouraging when other people don't appreciate the effort you're putting in but I'm proud of you for keeping going, take it all at your own pace

idk who needs to hear this but there is literally nothing that would be “too small” or “too insignificant” to stay alive for. You think birds are cute? Go for another day to see more of them jump around in the snow. You like hot chocolate? Wake up tomorrow to make yourself another cup. You are really into that one (objectively kinda crappy) series? Go until next Wednesday when the new episode airs. You do not always need a great purpose. If you have a small thing that can take you to the next morning? That thing is great. That thing is enough. Go get that thing.

hey i don’t know who needs to hear this but your pain is bad enough. when you are used to pain, it’s easy to think that only a 7/10 or higher is reason to rest or be kind to yourself or even just to count as bad. your pain does not need to be the worst you’ve had to deserve treatment. your pain does not have to be as bad as someone else’s to deserve treatment and compassion. if you are in pain enough to be thinking about it, you are in pain, and that pain deserves compassion.

a fools guide to not wanting to die anymore
by me, a fool who doesnt wanna die anymore 
never make a suicide joke again. yes this includes “i wanna die” as a figure of speech. swear off of it. actually make an effort to change how you think about things.
find something to compliment someone for at least 4 times a day. notice the little things about the world that make you happy, and use that to make other people happy.
talk to people. initiate conversation as often as you possibly can. keep your mind busy and you wont have to worry anymore
picture the bad intrusive thoughts in youe head as an edgy 13 year old and tell them to go be emo somewhere else
if someone makes you feel bad most of the time, stop talking to them. making yourself hang out with people who drain you is self harm. stop it.

you deserve good things. you deserve kindness and joy and people treating you right. you deserve to see flowers bloom and babies smiling at you and to pet cute animals. you deserve the best the world has to offer, even if it doesn't feel like it.

my dad likes to call the stretches of time where you’re not creating “dreaming periods” and says that they’re meant to allow you to absorb all of the beauty, life, and inspiration from the things around you so that when you’re able to create again, you will have fanned your spark back into a flame. sometimes its hard to see those moments as anything but stagnation, but he always says that they’re natural and healthy and needed—things that should be embraced rather than feared.

It’s ok to miss who you were before that thing happened, before you started to feel this way, back when you felt you were a better version of yourself. It’s ok to miss how you were. 
But that person isn’t gone, ghosties. You might be struggling now, and that heckin’ sucks, but all is not lost. You are still that person in there. Sending you all the strength and loves x
love from thesadghostclub.com

We are all a people in need. We are not perfect. We are not machines. We make mistakes. We need grace. We need compassion. We need help at times. We need other people. And that's okay.
