I’ve been in a depressive fog the last couple days and I had to remind myself that the world gets better. I wrote this to myself two years ago when I was just starting to figure out what recovery looked like.
It’s okay to not know, it’s okay to hide from what you do know and it’s okay. I promise. If you needed someone to tell you, this is it. Do things that you love, do things that make you happy and know it’s okay. It’s okay to feel hurt, it’s okay to feel sad, it’s okay it’s okay it’s okay. Sleep, cry, eat, laugh, and find a way to live. One of my favorite bloggers writes that she is ‘broken and magical’ because you get to be both. I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this. I couldn’t possibly be more sorry for you but please, please know you’re never alone. I’m okay. I never thought that I would be but I got here. I can’t promise you anything but I want you to be okay. I want it more than anything in the world. These aren’t just words. Try and have faith in whatever way you can. I’m not a particularly religious or spiritual person but I believe in love and in the goodness of the universe. So, I try to have faith in love and in the universe. Do what you can to spread love and healing and acceptance – start with yourself.
