Addiction

Some things will happen no matter how hard you resist them.

The rain will fall.

The traffic will build.

People will disappoint you, confuse you, act how they want.

And when you’re depressed, it’s easy to take all of it personally.

To think it’s your fault.

To feel like life is against you.

But here’s the truth:

You don’t have to fight everything.

You don’t have to control the world to begin healing your own.

Let the rain fall.

Let people be who they are.

Let life do what it does.

And gently, quietly, focus on what you can change.

Your breath.

Your routine.

The way you speak to yourself.

Peace doesn’t come from controlling everything.

It comes from letting go of what you never needed to hold.

What’s one thing you're ready to stop fighting today?

Tell me below or just send a quiet heart if you're not ready to say it yet.

Also, if you're going through a tough time right now, I want you to know that I post daily mental health videos about how I recovered from depression and suicide back when I was a teen.

When you’re depressed, tomorrow can feel like both a threat and a promise.

You might spend the whole day waiting for it—

hoping tomorrow will be easier

or that you’ll finally feel better

or that you’ll be strong enough to try again.

But in all that waiting,

you miss the small chances to live today.

You miss the quiet wins.

The soft light.

The fact that you got out of bed.

The moment you chose not to give up.

You don’t have to wait for tomorrow to begin healing.

You don’t have to wait to feel okay

before you let this day matter.

Even if it’s messy.

Even if it’s small.

Even if all you did was survive it.

That counts.

What’s one thing you can do today—just for today—that reminds you you’re still here?

You won't always feel stuck. ❣️ We all go through seasons where life feels heavier than other times. It's okay not to be okay. It will pass.

When you're depressed, emotions can feel like your identity.

Sadness starts to sound like truth.

Hopelessness feels like who you are.

Pain becomes the only thing that seems real.

But emotions are not facts.

They are experiences.

They move through you like weather.

So feel it.

Let the sadness rise.

Let the anger burn.

Let the grief ache.

But don’t become it.

You are not your pain.

You are the one who feels it—

and the one who can let it go.

What’s one feeling you’ve been carrying lately that you’re ready to release?

Two things can be true at the same time. ☺️
This thought is powerful and can help in many different areas of life. #Addiction #AnorexiaNervosa #Agoraphobia #AutismSpectrumDisorder #ADHD #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder #MentalHealth #BipolarDepression #PTSD #Schizophrenia #Lupus #ChronicFatigueSyndrome #CeliacDisease #Grief

Letting go is one of the hardest things to do when you’re depressed.

You hold on to thoughts that hurt you.
You replay conversations, regrets, and what-ifs.
You carry old shame like it’s a part of who you are.

Sometimes the pain becomes part of your identity.
It feels safer to cling to the familiar than to face the unknown without it.

But holding on is heavy.
And the truth is, some of the things you’re holding were never meant to stay.

You don’t have to carry every mistake.
You don’t have to keep proving how broken you are.
You don’t have to keep punishing yourself just because you’ve been hurt.

Letting go doesn’t mean forgetting.
It means loosening your grip on what’s hurting you.
So you can breathe again.
So you can heal.

It might not happen all at once.
But maybe you can start with one thought.
One memory.
One moment of kindness toward yourself.

What’s something you’re ready to let go of, even if it’s just for today?

Even when it feels like you "can't"...your history (history/story) proves otherwise. #Addiction #AnorexiaNervosa #AutismSpectrumDisorder #MentalHealth #Arthritis #ChronicFatigueSyndrome #CeliacDisease #PTSD #BipolarDisorder #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder #Schizophrenia #ADHD #Lupus #Grief
