"I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing."

"Instead of saying “I don’t have time” try saying “it’s not a priority,” and see how that feels. Often, that’s a perfectly adequate explanation. I have time to iron my sheets, I just don’t want to. But other things are harder. Try it: “I’m not going to edit your résumé, sweetie, because it’s not a priority.” “I don’t go to the doctor because my health is not a priority.” If these phrases don’t sit well, that’s the point. Changing our language reminds us that time is a choice. If we don’t like how we’re spending an hour, we can choose differently."

Transmissions from a Wayward Hive: loveamongowls: Something that I’ve found to be very common in people...
Something that I’ve found to be very common in people with depression is that they don’t necessarily want to kill themselves, they just want to stop being. That’s an incredibly scary thing to feel and it’s almost impossible to explain to someone who hasn’t experienced it…
One of the best mom moments in TV history. I wish more parents knew how important it is to validate their children’s feelings.
