you can't give up. just take it one day at a time and do the best you can. don't forget - the fact that you opened your eyes today means you made it through yesterday. as charles bukowski said, "sometimes you climb out of bed in the morning and you think, i'm not going to make it, but you laugh inside - remembering all the times you felt that way." #martinlutherking #martinlutherkingjr #quoteoftheday #mental #health #inspiration #healing #dailyinspo #mlk #martinlutherkingday #woundedmind

most people are never who they appear to be on the surface. be careful whose riptide you get caught in. @nikita_gill // #nikitagill #poetry #mentalhealth #inspiration #healing #dailyinspo #woundedmind

"before you pass judgment on one who is self destructing, it's important to remember they usually aren't trying to destroy themselves. they're trying to destroy something inside that doesn't belong." - @jmstorm // #jmstorm • it bothers me when people say those who have died by suicide were selfish and that they didn't think about how it would effect the people in their lives or pass the pain on to the survivors. okay. first of all, as human beings we shouldn't be made to feel shame or guilt for any decisions that we make for ourselves. and second, people who commit suicide don't necessarily want to die. they want the pain to stop and a little voice in their head tells them it can if they would just... and at the time it seems like a viable option given the amount of internal agony that person is in. you have to understand, a person who would do that to themselves is hurting so badly that death seems like the only way out. there is no future for them. there is no hope. their brain is literally trying to kill them. and if you can't understand that, then good. good for you. good for you that you've never had to experience something as horrible as wanting to end your own life because it takes fucking courage for someone who feels that way to get up in the morning and act like everything is fine. those people are fucking heroes and deserve more than what humanity has to offer them. bottom line... the person didn't kill themselves, the mental illness killed them. they didn't commit suicide. they died by suicide. #josephconrad #quoteoftheday #mentalhealth #inspiration #healing #woundedmind #suicidepreventionweek

tomorrow is the first day of national suicide prevention week. having lost someone i love to suicide, this week is very special to me and i will be posting once a day for the next 7 days. i love this quote because it reminds me that most of the time, i'm my own worst enemy. most of the battles i fight on a daily basis are those i've created for myself and they don't really matter in the long run. none of us know when our time is and this, YOUR, life is way too short to spend another day at war with yourself. forgive your mistakes and your human fallibility. accept that as humans we are innately flawed. all of us. embrace who you truly are - your authentic self. appreciate your valued qualities and focus less on your disappointments. we are all ever changing and always growing. all of us are just works in progress. be kind, compassionate, patient, and gentle with yourself. make peace with who you are at this moment in time. #raesmith #quoteoftheday #mental #health #inspiration #healing #dailyinspo #woundedmind

repeat to self as many times as it takes to sink in. you are worthy. you are worthy of love. you are worthy of belonging. you are worthy of feeling accepted and having your interpersonal needs met. you are worthy of it all. don't let the storm make you forget about the sun. @brenebrown // #brenebrown #quoteoftheday #mental #health #inspiration #healing #dailyinspo #woundedmind #youareenough

"in dealing with those who are undergoing great suffering, if you feel “burnout” setting in, if you feel demoralized and exhausted, it is best, for the sake of everyone, to withdraw and restore yourself. The point is to have a long-term perspective.” - dalai lama #dalailama #quoteoftheday #mental #health #inspiration #healing #dailyinspo #selfcare #selflove #woundedmind

it's always a good time for a rumi quote. #rumi #poetry #mentalhealth #inspiration #healing #dailyinspo #woundedmind
