Can I just vent to you please? You’re so comforting and like a safe space for me, and mental illness has been kicking my ass lately. And I just… With BPD, severe anxiety and depression, the minute I don’t post about my f/os and self ships my brain starts shouting that I don’t love them enough, that everyone actually hates my blog and what I do post, and makes me start feeling like I don’t deserve them. And it’s just so hard to just shut it up
Sorry we let this sit in the inbox so long, we honestly weren’t sure if you’d want it posted or not.
I’m so sorry to hear that you’ve been struggling lately. It can be so hard when mental illness decided to flare up and kick your ass.
Inner voices are a bitch to shut up. Our fears, our doubt and our self recriminations tend to pop up over and over again, much more than our positive thoughts.
I know sometimes for us it is just nice to hear someone outside reassuring us that our negative thoughts are not reality, so I want to do that for you.
Your negative thoughts are not reality.
Your F/Os will always be there for you. Even if you’re not posting about them for days, or even years. They will always be there for you when you need them, and they will always understand when you need a break.
I know it can be hard to remember but please do remember that your blog is your blog. It exists to make you happy, not anyone else. It’s okay to post whatever you want, whenever you want, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Sending you love and good vibes.
(and if you don’t want this posted publically and we’ve made a mistake just say the word and I’ll delete it.)
