😟 Anxiety may try to define you—but it is not who you are.

You are not your thoughts. You are not your fears.

You are brave. You are resilient. You are doing the best you can—and that’s more than enough.

💙 Keep showing up for yourself.

💬 "Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give but cannot. All of that unspent love gathers in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and the hollow part of your chest." — Jamie Anderson

Let that love guide your healing—not silence it.

💛 You’re not alone on this journey.

🌊 Sometimes it crashes over you without warning—a memory, a scent, a song.

Don’t fight the wave. Let it wash over you, knowing that it will pass.

Each wave brings you closer to a shore where the pain softens and the love remains.

You are not alone in the water. Keep breathing. Keep floating.

The tide always shifts.

🌫️ Depression can feel like a fog that clouds everything. But fog doesn’t last forever.

Keep going. There will be moments of light. Moments when you feel more like yourself.

Those moments will grow.

🌞 Hold on. Brighter days are ahead.
