this is so important
This post goes around Tumblr every year, and it’s always true. There’s never been an uneventful or boring January.
Not to sound selfish, but unfortunately quarantine has made it extremely harder for people with mental disorders.
Being a lot to handle is NOT a bad thing. You are a complex being with a story, emotions, thoughts, fears, interests, values, ideas etc. Do not listen to anyone who tells you that you are too much - it simply means that there is more to love about you. You contain an entire universe inside of you and if anybody claims that you are too hard to deal with, it just means that they are incapable of loving every part of you. It has absolutely nothing to do with you. So, embrace every little thing of your wonderful soul, my love. For: "You will never be too much for the person who cannot get enough of you."

you are allowed to be proud of the victories that no one else can see. like showering without completely hating your body, not breaking into tears at the thought of the future, talking yourself out of a dark mindset, calming yourself down in public, or like waking up every single day and choosing life. be proud of the progress no matter if it is visible for others or not. you’re doing great, keep up the good work!
you deserve people who listen to you ramble. you deserve people who love it when you’re excited, when you’re happy. you deserve people who check up on you and wish to see you well, people who not only accept you for who you are - but rejoice in it.
