"i haven’t crashed out, i haven’t lost or quit my job, i haven’t hurt myself (i don’t tend to physically hurt myself, but i have a history of self destruction), i bought groceries, i cleaned (some of) the house over the weekend." These are big fucking deals and I'm very proud of you. Depression paralysis is real, and I see you for your struggles, but you're also doing really admirably. Proud to know you.

thank you. thank you so much. reading “These are big fucking deals and I’m very proud of you” just helped me breathe. it’s such a silently suffocating thing. i’ve never called it that in regards to myself, but “paralysis” is very appropriate. that’s exactly what it is. but i’m better than i was, and i’m proud of me too. :)
