We all deserve to be fucking kind to ourselves!
The little voice that tells you you're somehow the exception to this is WRONG.

Good morning/TZAG, lovely peoples!

I hope you're all well, being kind to yourselves, swearing when you need to, and neuroqueering the hell out of your existence!

Last night, for the first time, I was able to navigate a trigger with self soothing and self compassion. It wasn't easy. But neither is being triggered and ending up a shaking, sobbing mess. I'd rather be tired from the former than the latter!

It's taken a lot of therapy, time, and effort to get here. And there's no guarantee I'll be able to do it the next time. But I will be able to do it again some time, and it will be easier. And easier again after that. It's possible I may always experience triggers, but I can, and have, shown myself that it's possible to live with them instead of being controlled by them.

It sucks we have to work so hard to fix what others fucked up for us. It's not fair. But, it is worth it. It really is 🫂💜

Needing some self compassion right now. It's so hard. So hard to change the mental habits of a lifetime. Changing patterns of thought from self abuse to self compassion is HARD WORK. But, I'm tired of feeling ashamed of things I can't control.

Self compassion is a powerful antidote to that shame, but remembering to use it isn't easy.

Add energy and oomph to an affirmation, advice, or a psyche up by swearing!

Sweary and non sweary meltdown reminders, save your favourite!

Meltdowns SUCK. Try to show yourself the same compassion you'd show anyone else next time it happens to you.

Sweary self compassion reminders...

For me today, self compassion looks like Futurama, rest, letting myself cry, and trying to be OK with being exhausted, "useless", and emotional.

It's hard. Fucking hard. But slowly getting easier.

Basic Fucking Self Care

Me, you, we, all of us, deserve to take care of ourselves. All of us. No matter what your Mental Health Goblins might be saying.

Try to tend to at least one basic fucking thing!

A blue to purple gradient background with white writing that reads... Basic Fucking Self Care Brains need water, fucking hydrate! Rest is not a fucking reward. Try to at least lie down for 5 minutes if possible. FED. IS. FUCKING. BEST. No "bad" food is as bad for us as not eating. Give yourself a fucking break. You didn't ask to struggle. Shake out your fucking bedding, put on fresh fucking underwear, clean up with fucking baby wipes, do one tiny thing to feel a bit better. Cry! In a society that teaches that tears are a weakness, crying is punk as fuck! Tell a friend you fucking love them.
