i just heard the phrase “if you wouldn’t trust their advice, don’t trust their criticism” for the first time and i don’t think i’ve ever needed to hear anything more

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.

hey i just wanted to give a shout out to people with personality disorders real quick. your disorder doesn't make you evil, it doesnt make you an abuser, and it doesnt make you unlovable. you're just as deserving of respect, care, and support as people without personality disorders. stay safe, i love you and i hope you have a happy holiday season. we're in this together <3

i don't know what psychotic person needs to hear this, but it is in fact okay for you to be psychotic. it's not your fault. you're not asking for it. it's something that's occurring to you. trying to force it to stop happening ALL the time is going to drain you way too much. some days you just have symptoms and it's alright. sometimes you just have to go with the flow. you're not a fuck up if you have episodes, days, weeks, months of not being able to hold it together and mask your paranoia, intrusive thoughts, delusions, hallucinations, catatonia, confusion, etc. it's alright to just be mentally ill for a bit. i love you

Reminder: It doesn't matter if you're "behind" from others. It's alright if you feel like people have accieved more than you. Life isn't a race of who can do more in their first 30 years. Hell, I see teenagers saying they have failed or that they aren't good enough, when things like that are not in the least important. You have so many years infront of you, no one's chasing you down. Don't beat yourself up.

people with ‘scary’ and ‘weird’ mental issues i love you.

i love schizophrenics. i love psychotic people, i love people on the schizospectrum, i love people with DID and OSDD, i love people with NPD, i love people with PPD, i love people with SPD, i love people with ASPD, i love people with personality disorders, i love people who hallucinate, people who have delusions, and people who have paranoia. i love people who are mentally ill in ways that are viewed as strange and scary by society. 

it is not your fault that you struggle. you are valid. you are deserving of care and you are deserving of love. your issues do not negate any of that.

Can I get a drawing of fluttershy saying something encouraging for people who still are trying to learn with mental health issues?

Learning these things takes time, and it’s completely okay if you’re still figuring it all out. For instance, when you face a setback, it doesn’t take away all the progress you’ve made—it’s just part of the journey. And reaching out for help? That’s actually a sign of strength, not weakness. Setting boundaries doesn’t mean you’re being selfish; it’s just a way of taking care of yourself. Progress can feel slow sometimes, but that’s because real change happens bit by bit. Most importantly, all the feelings you have, they’re valid. They’re part of what makes you, you. 💖

I hope this helps anon! 💕

shout out to psychotic people who struggle with anger. psychotics who get angry when they’re wronged, when they're scared, when they're overstimulated, as a response to emotion. psychotics who want to hit. who want to bite. who want to hurt. who want to scream and break things. who redirect with self-harm. who struggle to keep calm and keep it together. i love you. you deserve love and care to.

Hey, take a break from everything for a second. Get a water, get some food or a snack, check in with your self/selves.

Are you starting to feel triggered?

Do you feel happy or at least neutral? And if you’re neutral, does it feel dull/numbing?

Have you eaten any time recently? Drank anything?

When did you last use the restroom or practiced hygiene?

It’s not healthy to constantly make your mind active with disasters, discourse, and all other things. You need to reconnect with your own world while understanding the things happening around you. It’s really easy to make this imbalanced.

Just remember to breathe.

if you're a recovering addict, i want you to know you're doing good.

you didn't use today? you're doing good. you used recently and you're still recovering? you're doing good. you sought support today? you're doing good. you practiced harm reduction? you're doing good. you want to relapse and haven't? you're doing good. you're getting involved, even if others are doing more? you're doing good. you're resting today? you're doing good. you're alive? you're doing good.

this shit takes time. you have spent a considerable amount of time doing harmful things to yourself, or others. you're not going to change overnight. all you can reasonably do is get through the day, adding as much good to your life/the lives of others as you can. it doesn't matter what happened yesterday, or what's going to happen tomorrow.

all you have is this moment, and if you're on the path of recovery... you're doing good. this is your story. not someone else's. not some idealized version of yourself. it's yours, just as you exist, right now. that's all you have, and all you need.

keep going. you got this. i'm glad you're here (and so is everyone else who interacted with this post).
