Hi.

So, I've been a real mess of a person today. I'm incredibly sweaty and kinda stinky (which I can fix), my mental health is in the gutter, and there was a point in the day when I messaged a friend that I don't want to exist anymore.

(I'm not suicidal, I promise)
I'm honestly just an absolute anxious, grumpy, frazzled, mentally ill mess. Have been since I woke up, will continue to be until I go to bed.

And you know what? That's okay.

I can be a mess today, and stable(ish) tomorrow.
I can be and feel and exist however I need to, as long as I'm always willing to reach out if things get too dark.

I'm allowed to be a mess. I'm allowed to accept and acknowledge my mental illness.
The trick is the management. I can do whatever I need to to get by, as long as it's healthy and safe. I can be who I am, as long as I'm willing to reach out and get help when needed.

You can be more than one thing. Sometimes, being multiple things just requires a little extra.
