Nerd Church - Some Reminders To Myself (And Maybe You, Too)

 

It's been a rough week, mental-health-wise.

So I figured I needed to remind myself of a few things - and hopefully some of them will be helpful reminders to you, too.

Disclaimer time: I am not any kind of mental health, medical, or psychological professional. I'm a chick with a blog.

• Your worth is not dependent on how hard you work

• Your worth is not dependent on how much you do or do not get done in a day

• It's OK to be tired, even when you think you 'shouldn't' be - the world is a tiring place, and Depression and Anxiety are tiring enough all by themselves

• You are not useless; you are not worthless

• You are not a failure; you are not pathetic

• Other people's milestones do not apply to you, it doesn't matter if you haven't met them

• Your capacity to love and be loved is not affected by the number of relationships you've had - or terminal-feeling lack thereof

• You have mental health problems in a global pandemic while climate change sinks in and there's war in Europe - you're an actual bada**

• Yes, you're an actual bada**

• Your worth is not dependent on how much money you have

• Your worth is not dependent on your level of perceived attractiveness

• ...And you probably look better than you think you do

• Age is a number - nothing less, nothing more

• Mental illness is not your fault

So that's some stuff I needed to tell myself! Hopefully it helped some other people out there too.

Do you find yourself having to teach yourself the same lessons over and over?
