Everyone has struggles. Some are tangible, some aren’t. Neither is any less real or valid than the other.
I’ve held on to this image for a while now because I’ve been afraid of talking about it, afraid of what people would think or say. But if someone finds this image as helpful as I have then it’s worth it.
There have been times where I’ve gone days without eating a proper meal or at all, simply because I would get anxiety about having to convince myself that I deserved it. I’m not talking about the guilt we sometimes get when we have an extra piece of cake. This is the guilt born from you convincing yourself that you do not deserve to eat at all. It may sound silly to some, but for others it’s a daily reality, and it’s crushing them.
I’m better but I’m still learning. I still struggle but I’m no longer strangled by it. Sometimes I slip up. It’s ok to slip up as long as you recognize it and try hard to be nicer and better to yourself. You can’t withhold fuel from a car and expect it to preform better, so we shouldn’t expect that from ourselves either.
So if you take anything away from my rambling, I hope it’s this: You are important. Your feelings are valid. You are more than good enough. You are cared about. Stop dwelling, just breathe.

“Love is not just Romance” This week is #AromanticAwarenessWeek! So I decided to paint a little something for my aro peeps! You are loved, you are whole, you are valid. (P. S. Yes, I realize it looks like one of those “Don’t Dead Open Inside” memes. I didn’t realize it until I’d already done it, please forgive me!) * * * #aromantic #aromanticism #artist #artlife #artistoninstagram #artistsofinstagram #artistsupport #youarevalid #paintersofinstagram #painting #acrylicpainting #aromanticpride #aromanticawareness #aromanticawarenessweek2022 https://www.instagram.com/p/CaSrzKCpL5z/?utm_medium=tumblr
Your anger knows that your mistreatment and abuse are unacceptable. Your anger knows you deserve to be treated well, and with kindness.
Your anger is a part of you that LOVES you.
I think that is a good reminder for some people. You’re always angry with a reason. Find out what it is, and change it. That’s how you’ll find peace of mind <3
“Getting mad at yourself for slipping back into old habits is like getting mad at yourself for shivering when it’s cold. It’s just what we’re wired to do. It’s not a failing.
New habits are new because we don’t have a lot of practice YET. We are not good at them YET.”
So, don’t beat yourself up over it. You’ll get better. It just takes time.
hello teenagers of tumblr dot com. especially the like 13-15 year old ones. I know like none of us have good role models in our lives and are desperate for adult approval but just because your mutual is older than you that doesn’t mean they’re right about everything and like necessarily someone you should look up to or view as an authority figure
Reblogging because… yes. Not everyone who acts like a potential role model for you is a good role model for you.
It’s okay to fail. In front of others. You’re not meant to be perfect. You’re human.
Personal news!
I am going to make an appointment next week by the way guys! I am going to be talking to someone about my mental health -not necessarily a therapist, as I wanted before (some of you may have read my parents basically said I didn’t need therapy) but I did go to speech therapy (for swallowing/feelings of being ill and stressed and not being able to eat)
And well, my speech therapist said it might help me to talk to someone… I am so incredibly happy. I’m going to get help, after knowing for so long that I needed it.
So, for you too, I want you to know things WILL get better. A brighter future is on the way.
I hope you read this little thing… story of hope, I think? And I hope it helps you too.
So if a teenager is at school for roughly 8 hours, and they are doing homework for 6+ hours, and they need AT LEAST 9 HOURS OF SLEEP FOR THEIR DEVELOPING BRAINS, then they may have 0-1 hours for other activities like eating, bathing, exercise, socializing (which is actually incredibly important for emotional, mental, and physical health, as well as the development of skills vital to their future career and having healthy romantic relationships among other things), religious activities, hobbies, extra curriculars, medical care of any kind, chores (also a skill/habit development thing and required by many parents), relaxation, and family time? Not to mention that your parents may or may not pressure you to get a job, or you might need to get one for economic reasons.
I will never not reblog this
“…but teenagers have no reason to be stressed.”
hey did you know anxiety levels in high school teens are actually as high as they were in insane asylum patients in the 1950’s? :)
damn!! that last comment… holy shit dude
Reblogging this because schools have started again (at least here in the NL)
