you are not a failure just because you missed one class, you got a bad grade on one test or you simply couldn’t attend to a certain event - it’s okay, just remember that you are so much more than that; you are more than your mental challenges or daily struggles
your past may be a part of you, but it doesn’t define you - you can be who you choose to be, it’s your present and future that matters from here
please try to take a break or even take a quick nap if you can, when you’re feeling low – getting back even the smallest bit of energy and a calmer mind can really help out
be kind and gentle to yourself, especially if you’re struggling - you are trying your best and have done well enough so far; try your best to please not beat yourself up over the little things
recovery isn’t easy, but that does not matter, because you’re trying
you can always start over and make the changes you’d like to, whenever you want - it’s never too late to give yourself another chance
it’s alright to cry - i know it feels like it isn’t, but it’s okay to let go and cry for a little bit; i know you hurt and you feel like you need to be strong, but there is a strength in letting your self cry that comes once everything has ended: you’ll be okay eventually, it just takes time
taking even the smallest step to better yourself is so inspiring and i’m so happy that you’re able to do that
don’t feel bad for not checking up on people when they aren’t checking up on you either
