What’s something kind you’d like to be able to say to yourself and believe?

You’re deserving of love and self kindness. I hope you can hear your inner defender over your inner critic.

It’s started again. Every time I mess up, feel sad, or panic... I think “I hate myself” over and over again like a comfort or an explanation. It’s as if I’m saying I’m the cause of my pain and I can control it if I direct it back to myself. But it is not a healthy coping skill and I want to take the time to reroute that thought.

I like myself. I can be sad, I can make mistakes, and I can have bad days. I can be weird and awkward and be uninformed. I am allowed to be human. I am allowed to learn. These things are a part of life and they don’t make me less of a human being... or less worth existing.

The world is a better place with you living in it.

I don’t want to hate myself for the pain and joys of living. I want to root for myself, I want to celebrate the little victories, and I want to be proud of my growth. I want to be there for myself and other people.

I love myself. I am deserving of love. I have an inherent worth.

You are growing. You are strong for the battles you are battling. You’re a mental health warrior and I’m in this war standing alongside you. Thank you for being you.

Thank you. I am good at my job and that's one thing I can say to myself. There is always something good we can say about ourselves. What's yours?

That’s awesome that you’re skilled at your job!!

I don’t know what to choose! I think I’m funny and can make pretty good jokes sometimes (especially my little sisters and brothers) they’re who I care about. So that’s something that’s good - making them laugh and laughing with them.

What an awesome question! I'm surprised at how quickly I came up with the answer:

"MJ, you are having a horrible dream. But soon you will wake up, and you will see the reality that nothing in the nightmare is true. Nothing bad ever happens to anyone. You save all your loved ones from physical and emotional pain and death. You save the world from the Apocalypse. You never make mistakes like in the nightmare. Wake up, MJ."
