boundaries, socializing, mental health
"i have a friend who always asks me before venting/sharing concerns if i "have the mental space for it right now" & i gotta say... that willingness to respect boundaries and not demand a loved one dedicate emotional energy they may not have that day... thats the healthiest shit ever"

language, self compassion, mental health
"dont speak negatively about yourself, even as a joke. Your body doesn’t know the difference. Words are energy and cast spells, that's why it's called spelling. Change the way you speak about yourself and you can change your life. What you're not changing, you're also choosing."

-do you ever worry that you're making stuff up for attention?
+when it comes to mental health? nope!
-why not?
+i have two super good reasons:
+one you cant "fake things accidentally"
+it has to be a conscious choice
+i know i didnt choose to
-whats the other reason?
+how many people have you told about your symptoms?
-like, nobody
+exactly!
in order to do something for "attention", you have to actually tell people!"

digital, socialization, mental health
"if you're offline or away and i message you something (like a link to a meme or a picture or w/e) honestly just assume that i'm just leaving it there for when you get back and notexpecting you to answer straight away. i don't need you to respond with “hey, sorry, i wasn't at the computer!” or anything. i was leaving u a gift for later.
This also applies if you're online and just don’t want to or have the energy to deal with humans in the moment. Just because we have the ability to reply in real time does not mean we have the obligation."
