āif you canāt brush your teeth thatās fine uwu one step at a timeā posts are supportive and thatās great but Iām about to have a 4.4k$ dental bill because I wasnāt taking care of my teeth when I was super depressed so uhh brush your fuckin teeth
the reason I bring up those posts is because every time I saw one I felt less and less bad about not brushing them and when my teeth actually started causing problems it made my MH worse because I was having horrible anxiety about my teeth getting worse and now Iām facing procedures that will probably be pretty painful and will definitely be expensive so I kinda got some beef with the anti-recovery culture on this site
switch up the language a little.
didnāt brush your teeth this morning? forgive your past self and do it now!
woke up at 3am and realize you didnāt brush your teeth before bed? 11pm you was tired, forgive yourself, and just do it now!
āitās okayā DOES lose helpfulness when you forget that itās supposed to mean ādonāt beat yourself up about mistakes, and donāt let it keep you from doing something different.ā
present you and future you donāt have to suffer just bc past you slipped. past you was going through it. give them a break. but, please, donāt let that stop you from doing something different. 11pm wants 3am you to feel better, even if they couldnāt make it happen.
