I go through phases. Some days I feel like the person I’m supposed to be, and then some days I turn into no one at all. There is both me and my silhouette. I hope that on the days you find me and all I am are darkened lines, you still are willing to be near me.
I crave intimacy but I get confused and uncomfortable when I’m shown even the slightest bit of attention or affection.
1. Instead of attacking yourself for how you feel, and demanding that you change, and “improve” who you are, be compassionate and caring and kind towards yourself.
2. Remind yourself this struggle is NOT something you chose. It’s something that’s unwanted, and is hard to fight against.
3. Don’t look to other people to help, and bolster, you. They also have their struggles, so their help is limited.
4. Our feelings are affected by a lot of different things – and that affects our thinking – so our thinking’s often wrong!
5. Feelings often hit us for no apparent reason – so if we’ll just be patient, we may find they’ll change again.
6. Remember you are loveable and truly valuable. Don’t listen to your feelings, and the lies you hear them speak.
7. Do something that distracts you – like some work or exercise – but don’t add too much pressure while you’re feeling low and weak.
hey let’s normalize doing little things to help ourselves!
opening a window sure won’t cure my personality disorders but it will cool down my room and give me fresh air if I haven’t left the house for a while! taking your vitamins won’t cure your depression but it will prevent you from getting vitamin deficiencies if you forget to eat! going outside for a while won’t cure mental illness but it does feel nice!
little things won’t cure us but they will help manage things. these things aren’t “neurotypical”, they are ways of surviving!
