If your mental illness is a barrier between you and the things you're passionate about I love you!!! If you have to take time off, go at a slower pace than others, or find a different path altogether, it will be okay. Healing and surviving is it's own work. You won't always feel lost.

#aka affirmations for myself!!! depression is kicking my ass but im going to go write my stupid apology tour emails and go to bed #i have gone from a partial program to an in-patient facility back to a partial and the biggest thing this experience has impressed on me #is that so many people in so many different stages of life are struggling. i have been really touched by what i've heard #and i feel so much empathy and compassion for them. treat yourself with the same grace you give others if you can (it's not easy!!!)#i also recognize how privileged i am that my interactions with the mental health system have been overall positive because it is fucked #in so many ways and i've heard some horror stories. so i dont want it to sound like im treating it lightly #this has not been my hot girl summer 💀 i don't think ive ever felt as ashamed despairing and hopeless as i have over the past few months #but this is also something that is shaping who i am and an experience i will carry and i dont regret that
