Jess, “A Place Called Hope” (via twloha)

But hope isn’t only found at the mountaintop. It’s in the valley, too, and in the climb up and the slippery slope back down. Hope can be found in the days when you forgot it existed and turned back to the darkness. Hope can be found not only in recovery but also in relapse. It can be found in the silence, and it can be found in a friend.

Brit Barkholtz, “Fight for the Next Good Day”  (via twloha)

(via youmatterlifeline)

Often, it’s hard to remember this. I have to consciously remind myself: Some days, the accomplishment is just getting through the day—and that’s OK. Stories of people doing big, awesome, important things while living with depression and anxiety are wonderful. They should be proud, and I am grateful for those who have stories like that to share. But it is 100% OK if surviving the day is the only thing you checked off your mental to-do list. That counts as a “big, awesome, important thing.”

There will be days like these. There will certainly be days worse than these. But a beautiful truth remains—there will be better days, too. There will be days you will laugh more than you cry. There will be days a smile creeps up on you and takes you by surprise.
