Functioning fine. Quietly falling apart.
Just because you’re coping
doesn’t mean it’s not costing you,
You show up
reply to messages
keep everything ticking over
And still feel like you’re holding it all together by a very thin thread
Because functioning and feeling okay on the inside
are not the same thing
You can be managing everything outwardly and still feel one dropped plate away from it all falling down
❌Maybe you still snap at people you love
❌your brain never switches off
When you’re on high alert
❌even the “nice” things start to feel like pressure
You deserve more than coping
âś…DM CALM if this feels like you
