The Anxiety & Phobia Workbook, 5th Ed.
Something I need to remember. Something relevant to us all.

there’s a future version of me who’s proud I was strong enough

This is the thing I needed to hear today. Thank you.

Friendly reminder that “doing your best” does not mean pushing yourself to the limits of endurance, but only doing the best you can without hurting yourself.

Further, even friendlier reminder that it’s completely fine if that means you don’t do as much as someone else.

They’re not you, and your contribution is just as valid as theirs.

This is not for you.

This is a post aimed at me and other people who constantly fall into guilt spirals over all the things they can’t do, and feel they should somehow magically be able to do anyway.

For me, and for the others, this is a gentle reminder:

– Posts asking for monetary donations are speaking to people who have money. Not your broke ass, still worrying how to buy food next month.

– Posts asking you to care about [extreme injustice of the day] are speaking to people who have energy to care. Not you, hanging onto your sanity by the fingernails.

And, most importantly: posts telling you that you are horrible/cheap/awful/rude/unworthy/unlikable if you don’t pay/reblog/signal boost/care? Those posts can fucking die in a fire.

TL;DR: Posts asking for shit you are not physically or mentally able to give?

THOSE POSTS ARE NOT FOR YOU.

It feels so good to read this!

A good fact to consider: the highest donation rate for households/individuals in the USA is 3.1%. The average is around 2.5%.
