hey, you can be past something and still feel like shit when you think about it

don’t let ANYONE ever shame you for your feelings.. it’s a wound... healed a little but still a wound

they don’t see how much work you’ve done to just feel a sting and not feel like you’re dying

When it comes to healing, instead of a straight line... think of a zig zag. You may stop and feel upset/hurt and just fucking disappointed... but guess what? You’re still going forward. You haven’t gone backwards. Treat yourself gently. It’s ok if it hurts still. You’re human.

we’re human, not fucking robots

we can’t wipe our memory clean (by the way? please, do not ever turn to drugs or alcohol to numb the pain.. as difficult as it is.. you have to let yourself feel it, sort through it and come to terms with it. SOBER.)

on the topic of substance and alcohol abuse after a traumatic relationship, incident, situation..

we should be discussing this WAY more often

if u numb the pain, u will prolong the suffering and soberly experiencing the pain is insanely difficult but also what u NEED to do

(Unless prescribed a doctor, do not try to numb yourself or you’ll eventually be hit by a tidal wave of emotion/regret for lost time/disappointment in yourself for destroying your body/brain.) I’ve had friends completely lose themselves to their chosen coping method. (Drugs/ALC)

don’t kill yourself slowly because of someone ELSE’s actions

you deserve to be happy, you deserve love and shitty things happen but you are stronger than you know and you will survive

people are going through the same shit daily and you can find them here on the internet
