Feeling Worthless

“You are not your illness. You have an individual story to tell. You have a name, a history, a personality. Staying yourself is part of the battle.”

“Your illness does not define you. Your strength and courage does.”

“You are allowed to feel messed up and inside out. It doesn't mean you're defective – it just means you're human.”

“You are not a burden. You have a burden, which by definition is too heavy to carry on your own.”

“Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.”

“You are enough just as you are. Each emotion you feel, everything in your life, everything you do or do not do... where you are and who you are right now is enough.”

“You are not weak for struggling. You are strong for continuing.”

“You are valuable because you exist. Not because of what you do or what you have done, but simply because you are.”

“You are stronger than you know. More capable than you ever dreamed. And you are loved more than you could possibly imagine.”

“There is no standard normal. Normal is subjective. There are seven billion versions of normal on this planet.”
