I’m gonna be very open for a minute. This photo might just look like maybe I just woke up and haven’t done anything with myself. But I’m on day 5 of trying to convince myself to just take a fucking shower. Clean my room. Make my bed. EAT. Every day is a battle lately. I’m thankful for the roof over my head and the insurance I have to ensure I can get my medication and not fall entirely off the deep end. Existing can be so hard when the chemical makeup of your brain won’t allow it to function normally. I want anyone out there struggling to know that they aren’t alone. Social media tends to only show people the sides of us we want them to see, it allows us to create versions of ourselves that are incomplete in order to appear like everything is okay. I’m here to tell you that it’s okay not to be okay. It’s okay to reach out and ask for help. And to my neurotypicals out there, if you have a friend suffering from any kind of mental illness, please check on them. We are not okay right now and things have been even harder for the last year. Don’t put it off saying “they’re fine, they’re strong, they go through this all the time” because however true that may be, it can be a very lonesome and dangerous place inside one’s own mind. Thanks for reading and if anyone has any questions or wants to reach out to talk, I am always here to listen. Please continue to fight. Please ask for help when you need it. And PLEASE remember, that if all you did today was survive, you did the absolute best you could. You’re absolutely amazing and your beautiful mind isn’t broken, it just works differently. Love to all of you beautiful people https://www.instagram.com/p/CLKQyZDhwgxAFf1-uWSwcoUmkeC3JEuRL31p1Y0/?igshid=1j7vmi925lczt -- source link
