you have inherent worth simply by being alive. you are not a failure or unworthy for struggling with your mental or physical health. you're just a human being in pain.

you are not a burden; you have a right to support, care, & community, and it is not your fault that this world isn't built for disabled & neurodivergent people.

your emotions matter. even if they're big, or "out of proportion" to other people. everyone experiences life differently, and you deserve people in your life that treat your emotions with respect & kindness.

you are doing your best. i believe you. you don't need to compare yourself to others, or your hypothetical best self. who you are right now, in this moment, is enough.

it's okay to struggle with change. it can be scary, stressful, daunting, and confusing. you're allowed to take your time in figuring things out. you don't need to have all the answers today. life is about experiencing, not being perfect.

i'm glad you're here. many more people than you believe are glad you're here. it's okay. you're okay. you may not feel okay, or may not be doing okay: but as a person - you're okay.
