had a breakthrough in therapy today where I was like woah so like because recovery is unique to me I don’t have to compare my healing and where I’m at in life to everyone else’s place in life and as long as I strive to move forward and do the best I can ill be alright
Sometimes self care is doing the hard thing. Sometimes it means getting up and going to work or school, even if it’s uncomfortable. Sometimes it’s going to see friends even if you want to stay under the cover. Sometimes it’s worth a little push for the sake of your healing.
it makes sense to try and stop feeling a negative emotion, and it’s a good thing to find ways to cope. but please make sure you’re not also pushing yourself to stop feeling that way because you feel like you’re doing something wrong. your feelings are valid. they deserve to be acknowledged and cared for - not dismissed and invalidated.
