#second thing

Goldie: water is not wet.

misa gives L a makeover: the comic

when... tbh, both thought processes are unhealthy?

the first one is you just accepting that you’re never going to get better. it’s you never trying to improve your quality life, you never reaching out for help. or maybe you using your mental health to hurt other people and dodge the consequences. it’s obviously bad

but the second one is bad too. you can use your mental health as an excuse (or explanation) for some things. if someone tries to make me eat one of my bad foods, sure as hell am i going to tell them i can’t because of arfid.

and, idk. i know my mental health shit is pretty severe but ive been out of school for like 3 years now, basically doing nothing all day every day. i hated myself for it a lot and felt like i should be better than this. but my therapist told me that it’s okay to need to rest and not work on the big issues until im strong enough to & i feel that’s something that gets lost

like, yes. if what your doing is actively hurting other people you should try to work on it. but if what youre doing is only hurting yourself it’s okay to take more time and wait until youre strong enough to recover. because recovery take a lot out of you. it’s exhausting and upsetting and if you try to start before you’re ready it’ll be harder
