You are not a quitter when you have a disability and admit to yourself and to others that you can't do something. It doesn't mean you are limiting who you are or hindering your growth or success capacity. It just means you accept how your illness impacts your life and you are setting boundaries, so you don't end up completely exhausted and even more sick. You are looking out for your own health when you stick up by not pushing yourself to a point of burn-out. It doesn't mean you are a failure. It means you know some things are impossible to be done, it means you won't take unnecessary high risks with your health.

Look out for yourself. It is okay to admit how disability affects your life, to say "no" to pushing yourself too hard, to ignore people who accuse of "not trying hard enough" because they can't possibly understand how much you have to try to just exist when you are sick.

It is okay to ask for breaks, to have accommodations, to ask for benefits and accessible healthcare. You are not being too demanding by wanting your most basic needs met and your boundaries respected.

I have been seeing tons of people with “no bad days” stickers, sweaters, etc. And I get that they are supposed to be positive and encourage you to not let bad moments be the focus of your day. However, I think it’s important for people (especially those with mental illnesses) to remember, it is ok to have bad days. It’s ok to have bad weeks. It’s ok to have bad months. It is not some kind of moral failing to have bad days.

“No bad days” is only achievable through mental strength and some people have to use all that mental strength just to stay alive. If this is the case for you it does not mean you are weak, it means you are using your strength elsewhere.

Have the day you have and I hope it is a good one.

guidance of night (31/12/2022)tarot & oracle

as you know I'm going through a really uncool moment, at the start of the year, I even cried about it in the metro, I said to myself another shitty year, what am I going to do, it's not really January 2023 (it is 8:54 p.m. French time)

tonight i'm all alone (again for new year's) i thought to myself i need some emotional strength or i'm not gonna make it, so i took my tarot cards and i asked for a collective message.

We start with the thread of destiny oracle:

paradox: it feels like being in the hollow of a wave, swimming, swimming and swimming again, but when will fate let us breathe, rest, find our land of rest? especially since we have the shadow still hanging over our heads, will we succeed? I do not believe it anymore ! here are all the phrases that come to mind. However, we have the truth, the transformation with the butterfly, but we have the image of a leaf = versatility, letting ourselves be carried by the wind which will take us to our final destination? maybe ! we end with 2 compassion cards (beauty and being gentle with yourself and patience also with the turtle, our races are well settled and we are moving forward too. At the back of the deck, we have soul work = our soul simply works with the bee, it follows its path with its honey, it reaps the fruits of its labor.

With cerle de femme here are our sentences: - spring: welcome what comes your way. - Power: when your mind is clear and peaceful your strength will carry you - summer: let your soul shine

with the oracle of energies: we have the angel of love, a cure is there, a possible meeting is there too if you learn to let go and let the universe do its job, focus on your projects, careers or goals.

even if you don't see, your life is growing, he may have financial problems, take a step back from this situation, know that better days are coming for you with the door card to value

#you are not your past #you are not a failure #you are not alone #Happy New Year #2023 #tarot reading #tarot

Journal Entry: 11/1/22

When, at what point do I hold myself accountable? When does having a life (education, work, relationships) the things that everyone around me have - why does it look so easy for them? Why can’t that be me? What do others think of me? Am I ever going to get out of this mess? Am I ever going to get out of this rut? What will my life look like when it begins? Has it already begun? I feel like I am stuck in an old black-and-white movie scene, never moving forward. Stuck in slow motion while my friends are going full speed in bright colors. When is it my time to see the light in life? When is it my time to see the color?

Why does the future scare me so much?? Every time something feels good, like I take one step forward, life moves the track three steps back and suddenly I’m behind again. Keep walking is the answer I guess, and maybe one day my steps will become bigger strides and life will keep going. It will never stop moving the track though - I know that, that’s just life. I know to tell myself that the finish line is not the goal, but the journey and progress along the way. Sometimes telling myself that helps, but the second someone from my past (someone who knew the old me. The me that was “perfect” to their standards. The little girl me who had a light in her eyes and in her heart. The little girl who grew up always saying yes, always obeying, always hiding her pain to be perfect in order to obtain their validation and therefore her own safety and peace of mind) asks me, “so what are you doing now?” I want to shrivel up in my bed and cry. I become numb with emotions. Numb with grief. Grief for my old self that everyone had the highest hopes and expectations for. I don’t want them to know what a failure I have become - I don’t want them to know how much of myself I’ve lost. How much of my old self is gone and I can’t get it back. I try like hell, but I can’t get back the light that was once in me. I don’t know where it went, and the most frustrating part is I don’t know why it even left in the first place. Knowing all of that makes me want to crawl under a rock - anywhere all alone where solitude is the only thing that can bring me a resemblance of comfort. Anywhere where no one can see me at my weakest point….that’s when the little girl in my heart screams the loudest.

I’ve given that little girl a name though- Raven. My therapist told me that if we named her, maybe we can understand her more. I named her Raven after a character in a show called The 100. In that show, it seemed like everything that could ever possibly happen to crush someone, happened to her. Every day, every episode, something horrible was thrown at her. But she always handled it, always pushed back, always stood her ground. It hurt her, and there were times when she was shoved so far down that the TV screen literally turned black. But then there she was bursting forth in glorious color. It wasn’t always pretty, and it sure as hell wasn’t always bright, but damn it was vivid. And there was color.

So it seemed kind of fitting that my little girls name - The little girl in an all black silhouette sitting in a cage, a little birdcage in my heart, in my subconscious - ends up getting the name of Raven. But the hope is that this raven will not stay in her cage crouched down and screaming. She will learn to stand. To not be scared. To be brave and bold enough to break through and break free. To fly. One day my raven will fly…

That’s the hope at least. We’ll see how it goes, but we will not give up. We will not give up on her. She deserves to be free.

This weeks theme I would like to focus on depression and how it correlates with eating disorders.

Long story short: An ed and depression go hand in hand with one another unfortunately. If you’re depressed, you may want to practice ed behavior. If you practice ed behavior, that may lead to depression. Not the funnest cycle in the world.

I have definitely experienced this throughout the years that I have had my ed. Sometimes it felt like I would never see the other side. A side where I could be happy.

At the risk of sounding cheesy, I’ve been to the other side more often lately. And the work that did to fight (chronic) depression was worth it.

🌸Please know you are not alone. Most importantly, please know you deserve to see that other side too.

It’s the anon who didn’t feel like they were going anywhere in life again…. Getting those feelings again …. I turned 26 this week. I have a really nice life, a great job, friends, I go on trips and go out to do things regularly and I have lots of hobbies, I’ve traveled to a lot of places …. But I have two things I feel incredibly insecure about that always drag me down, because I feel like I’m not a proper adult or that I’m a failure because of these two things. I’ve never been in a relationship or even kissed anyone and I still live with my parents and so far haven’t moved out (I went to university but went to a nearby one and lived at home) … I just feel like life is moving too fast and that I’m getting older and running up to some deadline I need to meet… I can’t get over it and it drags me down all the time …. Getting one year closer to 30 also hasn’t helped …… any advice for these feelings???

Hi, Anon. First of all, thank you for checking in with me. I’ve been thinking about you a lot since your first ask, and I’ve even posted, calling out into the void, hoping you would see the post and give me an update. I’m glad you’re reaching out now.

So I’m really sorry you’re feeling so down, especially about stuff like this. Believe me, Anon, you’re 100% NOT a failure. You’re not. By no means. Success isn’t defined by those things.

First of all, with the way the economy is and with the way the housing market is, hell I’d live with my parents too. No shame in that. None at all, and if anyone tells you otherwise, they’re crazy.

Secondly, the world likes to push the stupid idea that if you haven’t experienced falling in love or kissing someone or getting married by age 20 or whatever that you’re doing life all wrong. No, the world is completely wrong. Totally off the mark. There’s nothing wrong with how you’re life is going. Everyone’s journey looks different, and just because yours looks different from how the world makes you think it should look - or even how you think it should look - doesn’t make it wrong or bad.

I have friends who are in your shoes actually, and a couple of them have already hit the 30 mark and then some. And I know the fact they’re single bothers them because they feel like they’re missing out or they’re stuck and being left behind. I can promise you it’s not true. They’re leading great lives, but they forget that because they’re focused on what they don’t have and it taints everything else. I think the world of these people. They’re awesome, fun, beautiful people. If anyone looks at my friends and pities them for this one thing, then the error is with them and not my friends. And it’s not with you either.

Truth is, Anon, you’re young. You’re still very young, and you’ve got lots of life left to live. And so far it sounds like a really good life. Don’t listen to your anxiety and your insecurities. I know it’s easier said than done, but Anon, they’re liars. They sound really convincing, but they’re liars.

Repeat after me: I am not a failure. I am not a failure. I have a lot of life left to live and my best days are head and not behind. I am not a failure.

It’s true, Anon. I swear it. If it wasn’t, I wouldn’t waste the time trying to impress the idea on you. I hope this helps. My inbox is always open if you need to hear this again.

#ask scott lang #scott lang #ant-man #anon asks #it’s gonna be okay #you are not a failure #you’re awesome #keep moving forward #ant man #antman

Hello again! Sorry this is a few days late.

Positive affirmations is a good way to boost your self esteem and confidence. It’s easier to get started than you think.

What is a positive affirmation? Optimistically loaded phrases or statements that lift you up.

For example: “I’ve come this far, I can make it through another day.” “You’re doing a great job! Keep trying!”

I put post-its on my bathroom mirror and while I’m drying my hair, I read them out loud to myself.

I encourage everybody to try this who hasn’t. You are doing great things. You can continue to do great things. I’m right here, rooting for you. Have a good day. Also happy world poetry day.

I just read yet another story of a 19 yo kid killing themselves in a university bathroom because they felt like they failed. At 19. Allow me to rant for a bit and tell you that you are not a failure. Not everyone follows the same path, not everyone has the same pace. You are not a failure if you drop out of highschool/college, you are not a failure if you don't land your dream job, you are not a failure if you don't make millions.

YOU. ARE. NOT. A. FAILURE.

Never. No matter what. As long as you draw breath you have a chance to be better than you were yesterday. Don't let society's fucked up standards make you think that you failed just because you don't fit into a distorted mold.

As a person who lost a friend for this shit and thought I was a failure myself way too many times, I am begging you to go talk to someone about it.

God knows I wish my friend talked to me.

What seems impossible to overcome today will be overcome tomorrow. Just don't give up.

#you matter #you are not a failure #you are not a burden #ask for help

I wish we had more female characters like Eleanor Shellstrop. One of the most unlikable people you've ever met. Read a Buzzfeed article on most rude things you can do on a daily basis and decided to use that as a list of goals. Makes everyone's day worse just by being there. Dropped a margarita mix on the ground and tried to pick it up, only to get hit by a row of shopping carts which pushed her into the road where she was hit by a boner pill delivery truck, killing her instantly. Cannot keep a romantic partner despite being bisexual. Had a terrible childhood but will die before she gets therapy. Best employee at a scam company. Just the worst but also can't help but root for her to improve.

Absolute loser. Girl-failure. Bad at almost everything. Literally perfect female character.
