From my best friend to me.

@bazurk She really is, and I'm grateful for her.
You keep in touch with those kinda friends. The almighty only gives you but a select few of those.

@bazurk A few if you're lucky... Yea she's been my rock for a few years now.

I'm sharing this because I've been caught in the vicious cycle of being depressed, and then feeling guilty for the inaction and apathy that comes with being depressed. And then the even shittier guilt that happens when you're unable to just snap your fingers and get back to normal...
We have to at least try to give ourselves grace. It's a reminder I really needed to hear today, because this last month has been a struggle.
@killyourfm I appreciate you. Take care of yourself.

Good people attract other good people. You must be pretty awesome too.

@killyourfm I couldn't agree more with your friend. Trust the healing process. Everything will make sense in the end.
I also have my struggles, as a schizophrenic, but I have never lost my faith in the Universe/humanity/call it what you will.
Don't overthink things, focus on your blessings and everything you've accomplished.
Everything is a state of mind. Keep calm and appreciate what the world has to offer.

@killyourfm Additional to that awful cycle: I would always dwell on the external ramifications of taking a mental health break, like "it will make me look weak," "it wastes time off I might need for physical illness," etc.
Well if I choose not to take a break, do you think I'll be happy to appear so reliable, and grateful to be saving up my sick days? lol no, I'll still feel like shit
So logically, I have no excuse not to be "selfish" and do something for my own sake. -

@killyourfm Thanks for sharing this! The shame cycle doesn't help things. You deserve grace. We all do!
