Here’s to strong women. May we know them. May we be them. May we raise them.
happy international women's day to anyone who feels maybe kinda sorta like a woman today
[drawing of a blue cloud saying “A late start doesn’t mean you won’t succeed. You still have time. You can do it!” in a blue speech bubble.]
In case you needed to hear this today:
You are not alone.
You are strong.
You are beautiful.
You are worthwhile.
You deserve good things.
You matter.
You are important.
I care.
Don’t think about what can happen in a month. Don’t think about what can happen in a year. Just focus on the next 24 hours in front of you and do what you can to get closer to where you want to be.

If you are scrolling through Tumblr trying to distract yourself from something you don’t want to think about, or you’re looking for a sign. It is going to be okay. Just breathe. You are alive and you matter.

Regular reminder you don't owe anyone information about your health, disability, or medical treatment. You have the right to provide as much information as you are comfortable with and no one is entitled to more.
Put yourself and your recovery first.
Unfollow triggering blogs. Follow inspiration and recovery blogs.
Give yourself positive reminders everyday.
Make a list of things which help you and refer to it when needed.
Accept relapses will happen, but it’s part of recovery. Learn from them.
Let yourself be helped by others.
Don’t ever give up. It will be hard, but it will be worth it.

it’s completely acceptable to stay alive for tiny reasons. because you want to hear your favorite song one more time. because your dog will miss you if you leave. because the moon is just too pretty to never see again. because you haven’t seen the next season of a really good tv show. because you want to see the christmas lights this year. if you’re alive, you’re doing enough. if you’re surviving, i’m proud of you.
You deserve to be treated with the same kindness that you give to others regardless of your faults. Compassion goes both ways
