“I can handle my problems on my own.”
You can love yourself and still realize there are aspects of yourself that need work. In fact, making a change to your behavior is part of loving yourself. It proves you give a shit about yourself. It proves you want to better yourself.
When October 11 arrives, log into your Netflix account and enjoy the single greatest film of 2019 with a bottle of Dos Hombres mezcal.

People think it’s harmless when they make casual comments about how to ‘fix’ my anxiety. They don’t understand how unhelpful it is to tell me to smile more, to stop stressing so much, to stop caring so much.
When you’re in a bad situation, you aren’t going to wait around for someone else to come rescue you. You’re going to take care of yourself. You’re going to figure out a solution on your own. You’re going to assert your independence.
You always hope you will feel better tomorrow, will have more energy tomorrow, will care more tomorrow — but you don’t actively do anything to make tomorrow any better than today.
