a lot of things are outside our control and that's okay. that's normal. no one controls everything.
you don't have to have a clinical mental disorder in order to go to therapy. you can go to therapy even if:
- you are having issues with your interpersonal relationships
- you find it hard to regulate your emotions.
- you are struggling with balancing different aspects of your life.
- you are experiencing a stressful period.
- you want to gain more insight into your own thoughts, feelings, and actions.
- you want to build skills like time management, assertiveness, emotional management, goal setting, etc.
- you feel lost.
friendly april fool’s day reminder to not prank anyone who suffers from psychosis. they already have a very fragile connection to reality, they don’t need you making it more difficult for them.
reminders for you:
- you are enough
- nobody gets to decide what hurts you and what doesn't
- you have done hard things before and you will succeed at doing them again
- you deserve to be loved and taken care of
- you deserve to be respected
- you were not born to please everybody on this planet
- it's okay to prioritise your own peace
- you don't have to continue even if you're tired
- please feed yourself well
- you do not need other people to "complete" you
- Please breathe. you will figure this out somehow. you've got this.
it takes courage to be kind. it takes effort to be kind. no, it does not cost $0 to be kind. Kindness is a choice. Sometimes, a hard one. But people still make it and that's what keeps the world going.
things that therapy can help you with:
- improving your interpersonal relationships
- sorting out and planning for your goals
- living a more structured life
- tackling your issues head-on
- facing your fears

it is okay to have hard days. having a hard day does not mean that it will always be like this, or that you won't get over it. you've got this. you're resilient enough.
on grief:
- it's okay to take your time dealing with loss
- you can grieve the loss of entities that are not people and it is okay
- there is no one way to deal with it
- you can be actively grieving somebody/something and still find moments of respite
- grief looks different for everybody
- sometimes grief does not set in immediately. it's alright if it takes a little while for you to get there.
