dont retreat emotionally. people like you and want you around. they like to talk to you, and you genuinely matter. you have to trust this through the hard times so you can get to the better times without sabotaging yourself. you are worth loving

this is to myself too btw, i think worth remembering though for those of us with trauma and low self esteem

really beautiful image i dont think anything can beat this.

hey shoutout to my fellow ppl who used to and/or continue to struggle with regularly fulfilling everyday hygeine tasks for literally any reason. You can make a lot of progress on that sort of thing that you may never talk about but that’s still hard-earned improvement and Im proud of you.

Youre not the only person who struggles w that and you don’t have to undercut your sense of personal improvement just because it’s the “bare minimum.”
