coldhabits:

• intense mood swings ≠ manipulation 
  
• being ignored ≠ being worthless 
• just because your illness requires a lot of patience, reassurance, and effort from those who choose to be around you, doesn’t mean that you are a burden or impossible to deal with
• your fears and trust issues may be irrational compared to others, but they are also valid and you have every reason to feel the way you do
• it is not your fault if someone you trusted or cared about abandons you 
• other people’s opinions of you have no reflection whatsoever on who you are nor determine your worth and value as a person
• you have the ability to have a successful relationship if both parties involved are dedicated to making compromises and maintaining good communication to ensure mutual happiness 
• the right person will come along and accept you for who you are and love you regardless of your disorder and your negative traits 
  
• you deserve to feel happy and be loved as much as anyone else
  
• you are strong for making it this far and you should be proud
