●You have survived everything that you have gone through up to this point. The best day of your life is still yet to come. There are still people you haven't met, and things you haven't experienced. YOU CAN DO THIS.
Overwhelmed-
●remember that you are not broken, you are just carrying more than what most people can see.
● sometimes survival can look like silence, stillness, or sleep, and that is okay.
● if all you have managed to do today was exist, I i am so very proud of you as that is not nothing, it is resilience.
Feel alone
● you are not a burden, your pain just has not found enough safe places to land yet.
●the fact that you are still here right now while feeling everything this deeply, is its own kind of courage.
● even when all your thoughts start turning against you, you are still very much worthy of grace.
Survival
● your mind may lie to you a great amount, but the fact that you question those lies means you are fighting back.
● you do not owe anyone a smile. Some days just being here is the boldest thing you can do
●you are absolutely not a failure for struggling, you are human for feeling.

"you are not a burden, your pain just has not found enough safe places to land yet."

No problem at all
