#validating

Shout out to selfshippers who are maladaptive daydreamers

It can feel isolating but you aren't alone ♡ It can feel embarrassing talking about it to others and explaining It can be so easy to get sucked into it and forget to care for yourself It can also be so upsetting to forget where you are with a daydream and it's not like you can say "Oh, I'm upset because I forget the latest thing that happened in my parallel life I'm living via my daydreams"

It's more complex then people realize but please know you are seen and others experience similar things to you

Validating yourself and experiences sounds like:

It’s okay to recognize that this is difficult

It’s understandable that I’m feel upset

I am listening to what my body needs

I’m taking things one step at that’s okay

My pain is real it’s okay to say “no”

Resting is productive

My well-being is important

I deserve appropriate my health

All my feelings are valid

It’s okay to cancel plans if I need to

I need to leave this event now and that okay
