Welcome to Day 12. Calvin has always been a favourite. I hope everyone's day is as good as it can be. #day12 #12daysofxmaspuns #12daysofxmasjokes #mentalhealthawareness #lookafteryourselfovertheholidays https://www.instagram.com/p/B6f2JzMh8sjuUsMa3DehegFvwUNQCu6kGifjZo0/?igshid=ux8x0owqbnyf

It took me a long time to be okay with this truth. I'm there now. #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmeme #anxiety #depressionhelp #anxietyrelief https://www.instagram.com/p/B2R5FR_BB64/?igshid=j9oouszbf2hw

From now on, this is my answer to the "glass half full/half empty" question. #funnybuttrue https://www.instagram.com/p/CRWYFesBNAAMHpSU2XOLXkYbwQYyWRXaQ-z99I0/?utm_medium=tumblr

Go easy on yourself. And others. We've all been through a lot, and we rarely know what anyone else's traumas have been. #justbreathe #youvegotthis #youareworthy https://www.instagram.com/p/CVAgfeyLhfMEN3xgwKsX05jAOVhxG_6HOVOdmM0/?utm_medium=tumblr

It's cold and winter's just starting But the view ain't bad at least. With a weekend finally here, I'd like to just stay right where I am until Monday if I could. No anxiety; just warm covers, grey skies and a hot cup of tea. https://www.instagram.com/p/CIaupcpBQAhoL7u0Ks41b1hkOsVha_Nt5YlirQ0/?igshid=esp9vvuphfml

Time for one of our xmas favourites as we put up the tree. Recognize this one? #scarethedickensoutofpeople https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq_BDcFgecCq5_Q_88FmSNM7UTHMvKcA1efuNg0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ut9l2prszl15

Good words from someone who wasn't able to find happiness enough to stay. Life is short. Do what you need to look after yourself, and not what others think you're supposed to. Do what makes you happy. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cep2dyfuf59o-vOJOcotDGpXh1hnlaPT4MBhRA0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

One day.

You can't be happy all the time, but this sorrow you are feeling isn't all you have. The pain demands to be felt, but it also tricks you into feeling that it will never go away. But you can find release from it when you start coping with it. Instead of believing this pain is all you will ever feel, believe in yourself and that you can heal. I know you can. One day, this won't hurt as much.
