    Published 29/04/26

    1. Your feelings are valid, but they are not always facts.
    2. Rest is not a reward for burnout.
    3. Not every thought deserves your attention
    4. Don't compare your inside to someone else's outside.
    5. You are not responsible for managing other people's emotions.
    6. You don't have to act on every emotion you feel.
    7. Healing is about learning to carry it differently.
    8. Not everyone will understand your journey.
    9. The noise in your head is not a prediction.
    10. Some days 'surviving' is winning.
    11. Tears are not a sign of defeat.
    12. You can have a good day and still struggle.
