unfortunately very true. Doing Better does not always mean never being upset or never being triggered or never having trouble. often Doing Better means experiencing those things and being able to keep going/cope healthily/move on. if youâre in a bubble with no sensation, if youâre numbing yourself out, thatâs not what recovering really is. it wonât help you have a happier life itâll just make your world smaller and smaller until you canât fit anywhere anymore. gotta learn to make peace with the hard stuff too, thatâs the only way to keep going
I did not come into Tumblr dot com to be called out in this way.
I knew I started healing when I was finally able to feel and express anger and cry in front of other people and ask for support.
It's ironic because people would assume I'm doing terrible because as long as I've been alive I've been always either happy or quiet and never burdening anyone with my problems.
But I can assure you I was fucking miserable during that time and I was not healing by staying quiet and isolating myself.
It's difficult finally admitting that you need support from others and your friends can't always offer enough support so it's important to be in touch with mental health professionals.
