ok but can you imagine a worse, more terrifying fate than medusa’s one? just imagine. first of all you’re raped in your goddess’ temple. which, apart from the obvious trauma, means you can’t keep doing what you devoted your entire life to. your goddess gifts you with the ability to turn those you look at into stone and your hair into snakes so that you can defend yourself and be a threat rather than a victim to men. and then?????? a fucking MAN decides hes gonna hunt you down and slaughter you for…. sport like just because he can?????? and not only does he kill you but he keeps your head as a weapon???????? effectively using you and your body for his own purpose exactly like your rapist??????????????? like??? and this man is considered a hero while you’ll be remembered as a monstruous, dangerous entity???????????????????? medusa deserved better smh

hardest thing to learn during recovery is….. some of your misery is your own fault. you have to actively choose to stop wallowing in your own pain & start to recover. that means stop being self deprecating, start taking care of yourself, start eating healthy, start taking your hygiene seriously, even if it’s hard. & it is hard! but you must.

This is especially tricky if you have black and white thinking and anything being your fault feels like confirmation of everything bad you fear is true about you. It’s important to understand you can make mistakes on a limited scale and be to blame for some things and also have good qualities and get things right and improve and contribute to other people’s lives.


(Also on self-depreciation, it depends on what you mean by it. There’s a difference between having a sense of humor about your flaws and ‘jokingly’ calling yourself worthless. Don’t feel the need to give up laughing at yourself, but be honest and thoughtful if it starts to head towards trashing yourself.)

You fuckin' got it... That's all, folks. Wanna see more?
