Trauma survivors rarely say, “I need help.”
They say:
“I’ll figure it out.”
“It’s fine.”
“I’ve handled worse.”
They become their own safety net.
Because life taught them that depending on others isn’t safe.

You cannot control how you will feel when you wake up each day, but you can control your commitment to the process. You can always choose to show up, rain or shine.

Roger Federer told Dartmouth's graduating class the number he thinks explains his whole career:
"In tennis, perfection is impossible. In the 1,526 singles matches I played in my career, I won almost 80% of those matches."
Then he asked them to guess a second number:
"Now, I have a question for you. What percentage of points do you think I won in those matches? Only 54%. In other words, even top-ranked tennis players win barely more than half of the points they play."
What that does to you over a career:
"When you lose every second point on average, you learn not to dwell on every shot. You teach yourself to think, okay, I double-faulted, it's only a point. Okay, I came to the net, then I got passed again, it's only a point."
It applies to the good ones too:
"Even a great shot, an overhead back-end smash that ends up on ESPN's top-10 playlist. That, too, is just a point."
The part that matters is what he does with the point once it ends:
"When you're playing a point, it has to be the most important thing in the world, and it is. But when it's behind you, it's behind you. This mindset is really crucial, because it frees you to fully commit to the next point at the next point after that. With intensity, clarity, and focus."
And his definition of the best players alive:
"The best in the world are not the best because they win every point. It's because they know they lose again and again and have learned how to deal with it."

Refusing to carry the last point is the same skill as refusing to carry the day's open loops to bed. That one is the sixth fix in my new cortisol piece.

A nadie le gustas cuando estás deprimido. Podemos hablar todo el día sobre la salud mental y su importancia, pero en el momento en q caes en una depresión; todos empiezan a alejarse. Te ven como alguien negativo, una carga, una persona demasiado pesada con la q no quieren lidiar.

Peluk jauh untuk mereka yang sedang in a phase of trying to make peace with all the disappointment, without having to blame anyone for the pain they’re feeling. Itu memang salah satu tahap paling berat dalam life, but trust me and believe, you will get through this.

Nobody likes you when you're depressed.
Plain and simple. We can talk all day about mental health and how important it is, but the moment you are depressed, people start to distance themselves. They see you as negative, a burden, and someone too heavy to handle.

Ernest Hemingway once said,
"In our darkest moments, we don't need advice."
What we truly need is presence, someone to sit with us in the shadows, to acknowledge our suffering without trying to fix it. In those moments, silence and understanding speak louder than words, offering a quiet strength that reminds us we're not alone. It's not solutions we seek, but connection.
