It’s okay to be angry that you have mental illness. It’s okay to be upset. It’s okay to feel like you got a raw deal. It’s okay to be frustrated. And it’s okay to hate it and everything about it. The pills, the therapy, the symptoms, the reactions, and all that time lost–it’s okay to be angry.

I hope you wake up tomorrow with a smile on your face. You deserve that. You deserve to be happy.

Don’t worry about tomorrow right now. Just close your eyes and get some rest. I know you’re anxious about what’s to come, but I promise you, it’s not as bad as your brain is telling you it is. You’re going to get through this. You are okay.

I’m only alive for everyone else’s sake. I couldn’t care less if I died at any given moment. I just can’t disappoint people even in my grave.

it’s okay if you were getting better but now you aren’t. it’s okay if today wasn’t as great as yesterday. it’s okay if you didn’t do a lot today. it’s okay if your day didn’t go the way you wanted it to. recovery isn’t easy. it’s slow and there is sooo many obstacles, it doesn’t happen over night. it will feel like you will never get better but that’s your mental illness talking. it does get better, it’s just a very slow, long journey to that recovery and honestly you can do it. the biggest part of recovery is not giving up. I believe in you

The selfish part of suicide is thinking that it was selfish. Put yourself in our shoes. Feel our pain. Feel our guilt. Feel our emptiness. Then talk to me about being selfish.
