A Place To Heal

gives everyone on tumblr a copy of the dbt skills workbook. yes these things do feel stupid and condescending and childish until you actually start doing them

Hard to swallow pill, but it is absolutely okay.

When Lorde said “I care for myself the way I used to care about you”? That’s one of the most healing things I’ve ever heard like wow that woman really hit me in the heart with that one

"the world isn't kind" ok??? Much more importantly are you?????

"the world isnt kind" skill issue. I am

It’s weird how everyone hating you when you’re nine years old still affects your self esteem when you’re 26 like yeah nobody came to my birthday party but that was like 17 years ago why is it stopping me from going to a gay bar

The human brain needs the ability to be recalibrated faster. Yeah we’ve been doing this healing process for like six or seven years now make it snappy hurry it up

Not being able to love yourself does not mean you are not lovable. Your worth and value don’t change, even when you can’t see it. 

GUILT ! PAIN! MORE! PAIN!!!!

*through gritted teeth* i will be patient with and kind to myself. i will be present with myself in the everyday. i will allow myself to be comforted by the world immediately available to me. i will not abandon myself when i feel scared. i will trust myself to know how to care for myself. i will let a better life slowly seep into mine so i still recognize it as my own.
