Apparently this needs to be said so

Forgetting things is morally neutral! Memory issues are morally neutral!

You're not a bad person if you...

  • forget things quickly
  • forget people
  • can't remember entire stages of your life
  • can't remember important things
  • can remember some things very well and forget other things all the time
  • can't remember things (or anything!) about your interests
  • forget to eat, sleep, go to the bathroom, etc
  • forget to reply to texts
  • remember things and immediately forget them again
  • can't remember birthdays, events, etc
  • frequently answer 'I forgot' to questions
  • can't retain new information
  • forget things you used to know
  • only remember things when it's too late
  • have vague, distorted and/or unreliable memories
  • depend on others to know how an event you were in played out
  • have other symptoms that are worsened by memory issues and vice versa

... and anything else I might have missed!

hey. Many positive posts say it’s okay to cry. Remind people that crying is okay and normal and not be ashamed of. This very true and important!!

but equally true and important that people who naturally don’t cry know it okay. Even something big like death of loved one or break up or other big disappointment, loss. If you don’t feel like crying there’s nothing wrong with you. Or if feel like crying but body just can’t, that okay also. Or if make big noises but not tears. As long as healthy process feelings and not suppress, outward expression or lack of okay!

society have very narrow framework expectations for what ‘acceptable’ displays of emotion. Support and affirm people who fall outside this on both sides.
