Just a semi-regular reminder that you do not have to wait until it is "that bad" in order to start pursuing recovery. You don't have to let it get worse in order to count. If it's happening to you, it counts. You matter and you don't have to put yourself through more suffering and a longer, more arduous recovery process (and more lasting damage!) in order to prove that it was bad enough. If you want to get better now, you do not have to get anybody's permission to do it. Healing can start anytime, anywhere, and you do not have to endure any worse in order to deserve better.

9 years ago I was hospitalized with suicidal intent.

When I tell people that, they're shocked. "You? But your so cheery. I couldn't imagine." Youd be surprised how many "happy faces" are fighting a battle you are arent aware of.

9 years ago I hit a massive low and I saw no light at the end of my tunnel. I reached out for help and thankfully the people knew what to do.

The more time that passes the more I'm thankful I didn't follow through. There's so much I would have missed and so much life I have yet to experience.

I share this with you because I want you to know you are not alone and if you're ever lost struggling to find the light at the end of your tunnel please reach out for help.

Stay❤

repeat after me: I’m not being difficult when I stand up for myself when someone is not treating me right
