“Woman” and “Man” are not opposites and are not mutually exclusive. You cannot support all nonbinary and genderqueer people until you realize this.
Brain: You’re a horrible, worthless, garbage person, and your life is going nowhere but to hell.
Me: I don’t know what the fuck you expect me to do about that at 11PM, my dude.
You don’t have to put on a “strong front.” It’s okay to struggle. It’s okay to not be okay. You aren’t weak and you deserve support and understanding.
Be good to everyone for no reason, you’ll have more of an impact on someone than you will know

People don't realize how much strength it takes to pull your own self out of a dark place mentally. So, if you've done that today or any day, I'm proud of you.
It’s okay if you thought you were over it but it hits you all over again.
It’s okay to fall apart even after you thought you had it under control.

I can’t figure out the best way to write this image description right now. So, mostly it’s just a photo proof that my quote is being shared on Facebook. (The quote in the op)
If you all ever see this, if you’re comfortable (I understand if you’re not, it’s okay!) please feel free to link my blog or anything like that. This quote is also in my book “A Survivor’s Guilt”.
I have another post that details several other times my quote has gone on picture edits (even sometimes crediting the wrong person). It seems to have originated on Twitter and it’s exhausting.
I love that there are certain hyperfixations/special interests that are so common in the nd community. If you mention fnaf or undertale or something, a large number of us will have a great deal of experience in that subject.

If you think your doctor isn’t listening to you, or is minimising your problems or is just a shit doctor, there is a good chance you are right. Doctors are humans too and sometimes they suck at their jobs. It is ALWAYS ok to get a second opinion. You don’t have to put up with shitty care just because they have a qualification.
