Unfuck Your Habitat

utterlyfubar:

Thank you to PoM and UFYH and to the Tumblr community at large.

I’ve only been at this a week (and a bit).  But from my first post, I felt as if I’d stumbled into a room where everybody wanted to encourage me and give me a hand up - even though y’all don’t even know me.

I’ve got a long way to go, and I know that.  I’ve only just begun, and I’m only taking baby steps, and believe you me, I am WELL aware of that fact.

But in the very short time I’ve been here, I’ve made a difference in my home, a difference in myself, and I can see a difference in my family as well.  My depression hasn’t magically gone away, but now instead of being even more depressed by my surroundings, I feel hopeful.  Instead of saying “I can’t do it all right now so why bother?” I’m saying “eventually it’ll all get done.”  

Honestly, just being able to say that my home isn’t compounding my depression - even if I end up having a relapse at some point - is a huge thing to me.  Huge.  HUGE.

And I feel like I’ve got this invisible cheering squad here on Tumblr.  I can NOT even tell you guys how much that means to me.  Thank you isn’t even enough.

Will a gif do?
