As someone who has experienced depression since puberty, I have always secretly felt that I am broken and a waste of time– that good things in life weren’t for me, and I will never be of any real use to anyone.Well, turns out all of that is made up. So, please don’t waste your time and health like I have, and see depression for what it is: a misbehaving brain doing misbehaving brain stuff.In order to heal, I learned through therapy that my self talk was TERRIBLE. I constantly told myself I wasn’t ENOUGH of anything; not smart enough, not happy enough, not thin enough, not GOOD enough. So, here is my counter, self, and all of you reading this: You. Are. Enough. You’re not suddenly worth something once you’ve lost the weight, or got the job, or impressed your parents, no. You are enough right now. I am sorry your mind has ever told you otherwise°˖✧*• Shop, Patreon, Book, Mailing List *•. ✧˖°` -- source link
