Mental Health Awareness Month 2022

[Spren of Kindness she/her]

I'm still debating posting this (If you're reading, I decided), but I figured I might as well.

I'm not diagnosed with anything, and likely won't be anytime soon, but in the past couple years I've dealt with a lot of self-worth issues, and also being comfortable around people.  I don't do well in loud, crowded places where I can't see or hear well, and I can't keep track of what's going on.  I also have a tendency convince myself that I'm a bother by existing and to lie to myself that I don't deserve friends, or love, and because again, nothing official has been stated, I also don't get to talk about above issues or ask for help because there are others who need said help more.  I am now aware that that is not true and is a pretty terrible train of thought.  I still deal with it, I just recognize it now, and can sort of steer my thoughts a slightly less miserable direction.

Anyway, yeah.  Don't think that.  It gets you nowhere, and really sucks to live with.  Y'all matter and y'all deserve help.
