Sometimes, we need maladaptive behaviours to get us through.
Sometimes, those behaviours are actions.
Sometimes, those behaviours keep toxic people around to have a safety net.
Sometimes, those behaviours involve engaging in media or activities that help in the moment, but are worse in the long term.
Don’t feel guilty for trying desperately to survive, for using all the tools at your disposal to make it through the next day, month, year, decade.
