Splitting does not only mean devaluation/idealization and does not only occur in relationships.
Splitting can be being hypersexual/sexrepulsed. Splitting can be trusting someone/losing the trust. Splitting can be feeling safe with someone/feeling afraid they’ll hurt you. Splitting can be feeling like you’re a valid person/hating yourself. Splitting can be feeling true to yourself when you stand up for yourself/fake and worthless as soon as you don’t.
Splitting is when something changes meaning for you drastically and dramatically. That’s all.
•your anxiety has made it difficult for you to voice your opinion
•your anxiety has made it difficult to dress the way you want
•your anxiety has made it difficult to ask for help
•your anxiety has made you constantly worry if you are being annoying and wonder if your friends and family are valid relationships or if they just put up with you because they have to
And please know that you are not fighting this battle alone. You are worth more than your anxiety says. You matter and so does your opinion and your say. You are awesome
Thank you, France. I'ma go eat a croissant.

Too relatable in fact.

okay but it’s so important to do little things for yourself that help you feel comfortable in therapy. like for some people thats bringing stuffed animals or blankets or their journal, but for me it’s spending the first five minutes showing my psychologist cool rocks ive found/bought since i last saw her. it helps me relax and gives my hands something to do throughout the session. theres no such thing as a “stupid comfort item/habit.” sometimes you gotta start your therapy talkin about what happened on your favorite tv show. sometimes u gotta show your therapist pictures of your pet or ask for a pic of theirs. it’s okay.
being comfortable in therapy is the first step towards significant progress.
what did vincent say when he lost his car in the parking lot
I’ve decided I need to be more spontaneous - stop thinking about things so much and just do them, or else nothing that I want is ever gonna happen. Like today, there were so many things I wanted to do - that I should have done - but I waited too long and missed my chance. So tomorrow I’m gonna try much harder to just do the things that I want - not think about it, so hopefully it will be better.

Ha ha seriously tho.
it’s completely acceptable to stay alive for tiny reasons. because you want to hear your favorite song one more time. because your dog will miss you if you leave. because the moon is just too pretty to never see again. because you haven’t seen the next season of a really good tv show. because you want to see the christmas lights this year. if you’re alive, you’re doing enough. if you’re surviving, i’m proud of you.
