Abuse and Mental Illness

i hope you heal from the things no one ever apologized for

and I hope you heal from the things you don’t want to talk about

I hope you heal from the things no one else knows you went through

I hope you heal from the things you thought you had to apologize for

stop defining yourself by what you lack. you are not the absence of qualities, you’re the presence of them.

just because you don’t look the way society tells you to, doesn’t mean that you’re unattractive.

*breaks my own heart from thinking too much*

Friendly reminder that the reason you feel so much better is because of your meds, don’t stop taking them unless you talk to your doctor first, you really do need them, I promise. 

…and on a related note, do not let anyone tell you that because you start feeling worse if you don’t take your medication, that means you’re “addicted”. That is not how addiction works.

Okay everyone reblog this version

Check up on your friends for the holidays please, seasonal depression is real.

I hope one day you’ll be able to call yourself beautiful

My eyes automatically search for you in a crowd even though I know you won’t be there
