Feeling sad and alone most of my life was the inspiration to create these unique illustrations. Struggling with depression since I was a teen it took me years to unlearn a lot of ideas that I was socialised to believe, many of which were negatively impacting my mental health. I'm still figuring out how to be alive in this world but sharing my thoughts and realisations with others has proven to be a very rewarding process. The more I learn about how to live and love more fully the more I like to share my thoughts and realisations with my online community Recipes For Self Love. I've been running my Instagram account for about two years now and have built a following of over 445k people from around the world. I want to continue growing my online community while spreading awareness and truths that I found to have helped me a lot.

This applies to both romantic and platonic relationships!
i loved all 30 of them, they are actually uplifting in always ways!
And to suposed to be friendships, in which you are just used for their convenience
We are not competitors, we are allies. We need to work together to destroy oppressive power structures that seek to distract and control us
This can also be applied to personality, taste, talent, success, etc. It's ok to support and admire others, and not have it signify any deficit in you!
The difference between envy and jealousy. Having a generous spirit makes you a happier person.

their lives aren't....we all have stuff that we show to no one else
Load More Replies...It can be hard though, because you know people will see you as less attractive in comparison.
It is hard. And soooo much advertising / films / set impossibly standards. And the idea that woman is only "worth" her looks.
Load More Replies...But some women do look better than me and they know it and they act like it.
It's most likely your insecurities that lead you to believe this, which is the point the post is trying to help with.
Load More Replies...Not everyone's family is a source of love and support. Boundary setting can be extremely difficult, especially with family, but it's important to do in order to protect yourself
You can more easily cut non related people out completely. Family you usually always have to deal with, so this is about doing so in a healthy way.
Load More Replies...I escaped every aspect of it. I have no family but the ones who died and my father just for a couple of months.
Amen to that. It always amazes me that people can get so pissed when they don't respect someone else's boundaries. I haven't spoken to my sister in months because of this. I text her occasionally, but that's it. When you're having a conversation with someone who constantly interrupts you or speaks over you, you're not having a conversation - you're being held hostage by a narcissist.
I have been basically estranged from my younger son for several years. It's very hard, but I went through 8 years of living with his alcoholism. It destroyed my life and nearly killed me. Now we connect through phone calls and Facebook. I last saw him 1 1/2 years ago. I know that he will never recover, but I don't let that cause me distress like it used to. I have to take care of myself.
Society as lead us to believe that our ultimate goal is to be beautiful because according to the white supremacist capitalist patriarchy beauty = value. Beauty standards exist, they are narrow and limited, some people fall into the category of what is considered “beautiful” and some don’t. The truth is we don’t need to be beautiful!!! It’s not the most important in life - we are so much more than that. Let us be weird, ugly, gross, have bad taste. It doesn’t mean we’re any less amazing, valuable or worthy of love
I think they just strung a bunch of hot-topic words together to emphasize their point.
Load More Replies...Oh FFS, "white supremacist capitalist patriarchy" is not responsible for humans valuing beauty. Every culture that has ever existed values it because it is part of our biological drive to select the best and fittest mate. This woman's problem isn't that she is ugly, it is that she is ignorant and knows nothing about biology, evolution, human history, psychology, economics or pretty much everything else. Those deficiencies can be rectified, but her irrational race based hatred is something that should not be lauded. She is far uglier on the inside than she could ever be on the outside, and if she is alone because of it then it is only just that it be so.
oh, l was ready to write the same before scrolling.too shallow, annoying and sadly popular words. I'm from country where racism never existed, and connecting every problem with races or political systems is annoying me terribly. for this woman's problem, in monarchy and then communism we had beauty standards, in capitalism we also have, with all white population we had beauty standards, with growing population of African and Asian migrants we have. it's ridiculous, FASHION existed in stone age and exists in the most isolated tribes today. BEAUTY STANDARDS existed in every stage of human evolution and exists in every society. I've been too ginger, overweight, too skinny, so many not standard things in different times but blaming white capitalist men for not being the most popular girl i never think before :D
Load More Replies...She's not ugly--she's just expressing herself without the need to fulfil someone else's expectations.
yes, they do. You could start a series like this, I'm sure people would appreciate it.
Load More Replies...Why call it ugly? Let's call it individual, personal or something else positive. Ugly is when comparing and grading beauty. Exactly what we want to avoid.
Erasing a term that we find negative or hurtful is not always the right answer. Saying everyone is beautiful is like saying everyone is a winner. In a philosophical way, this may be true, but in reality, it is false. Was everyone a winner at the Olympics, or the Super Bowl? No; there were losers. Is everyone physically beautiful? No; some people are physically ugly. Why does this have to be a negative thing? Only because society puts value on physical beauty. That is the part that needs to change. Just saying that everyone is beautiful does not make it true. Saying that everyone has value, regardless of their physical appearance, is true. This is the idea that should be supported. Instead of erasing the term "ugly", we should neutralize it; give it less of an impact. Ugly or beautiful should be said with no more meaning than tall or short.
Load More Replies...WTF does it have to do with patriarchy? F*****g annoying anti men
Does anyone believe that I vehemently disagree with this merely because I am a white male? If so, they are as wrong as anyone (white male or otherwise) that believes that beauty = value.

This comes directly after two posts which say to keep only the people who 'add value' and ditch the ones 'draining your energy'. Guess who are the first to get ditched? I know mental Illness isn't much fun to be around, but we could do without the ableist social exclusion on top of it.
I do not know of anyone who does not struggle with some kind of mental illness. If someone you know is going through their own issues, they may not be able to handle your issues on top of that. In turn, could you handle their issues while simultaneously dealing with your own? It isn't always about ableist social exclusion. Sometimes it's just about what each individual can deal with at the moment. Also, are you implying that someone with a mental illness cannot 'add value' to your life? True friends will recognize the difference between "you're going through a rough patch" and "you are draining my energy". If they cannot recognize that, then they are the toxic ones and you should eliminate them from your life.
Load More Replies...You don't need to be--I have been, and being on my own, I am so much less alone when I was with him
Load More Replies...Sometimes we get sick, and it’s not our fault or something to be ashamed of
Mental illness should be talked about more so it would be less of a taboo and people wouldn't be ashamed of it, because getting a mental illness is out of your control. When I was diagnosed, it helped me to know that I wasn't alone in my condition
It took me so long to understand that mental diseases are in fact diseases and not faults in my personality or weaknesses... I am starting to acept now that.
Load More Replies...Society still has a stigma regarding mental illness because there is still a lot of fear due to ignorance. NAMI is a wonderful organisation (in the U. S.). For years, I have gone to meetings and classes. I have members of my family who suffer from mental illness, including myself (depression since I was a child). In the 1960's and 70's, no one understood that it wasn't your fault.
Nobody judges if someone gets a broken leg. And offers of " do you need a hand?" will be common. Same should apply to mental illness.
Yes exactly! And people are less ashamed to admit they have diabetes, so they should be allowed to be less ashamed to admit they have depression too
Load More Replies...Mental illness is an illness. Like a heart problems is a illness of the hearth and diabetes is a problem with the pancreas. The brain is an organ like any other and get sick sometimes. There should be no judging and people who suffer should get treatment without feeling guilty or that they could have done something. You can't. When you have diabetes you sometimes need medication, the doctor doesn't say : well, just try and make your pancreas work better = that would be silly. Well illness of the brain is the same. You cannot change it with your will. We have no power over our sick organs. But medication does help, please ask your doctor for help!
Agreed. Medication does help. There is a stigma against that as well. Some people get nervous when they find out you are on anti-psychotics. "Oh, you must be crazy?" "Umm, no. That's what the meds are for; to keep me from being 'crazy'. Duh!" This sort of ignorance needs to stop. A person being medicated does not mean they are dangerous. Also, medications are not "drugs". I'm not getting high, I'm getting "normal".
Load More Replies...Ok but this comes directly after two posts saying to ditch those draining your energy and keep those who add value to your life. Mental Illness is hard enough without the ableist social exclusion.
You seem to love that phrase; did you just learn it? Ditching people who drain your energy is not ableism. Ableism is discrimination against people with a disability or illness. Choosing not to continue a relationship with a toxic person is not ableism. Mentally healthy people are not responsible for dragging mentally ill people along through life. Mentally healthy people have absolutely no obligation to remain friends with, or continue to help, mentally ill people just because they are mentally ill. Having a mental illness does not give anyone the right, or excuse, to abuse or mistreat anyone. Most people will try to be understanding, but everyone has a breaking point. My husband has severe PTSD and is an addict. He put me in a dangerous situation and I left him in a prison in the Arctic tundra. Did I leave him because of his illness? No. I left him because he was dangerous. He refused to get help, so I walked away. That is not ableism.

Not a smile, not an engaging conversation, nada. Men are not entitled to women’s and trans-feminine bodies and attention. You don’t owe them anything
Okay. Now, I wish THEY knew. The kind of men who are prone to these rude behaviours....

Yes. Feminists are very confused about that. They do not owe a man anything! But men should be nice to them because they are women and they deserve it.
Load More Replies...Self preservation! Often in life one needs to put oneself first, and there's nothing wrong with this. You need to look after yourself and protect yourself, and this doesn't mean you're a selfish or bad person
This one gets along with the other one about work. Only people who truly love you will recognize your self-sacrifice, so don't do it for others. It's really not worthy and it will be seen as the opposite of what you wanted to achieve.

not Always relevant. when you have kids you need to think of your kids first.
Sometimes it’s still ok to put yourself first. You can go on a date and leave baby with the grandparents. You deserve it!
Load More Replies...We often feel the need to be nice, since we run the risk of being labeled "a b****" for exercising characteristics like boldness, assertiveness or critical thinking. It’s also often safer to be nice and exercise de-escalating tactics in order to reduce conflict in a potentially violent situations. Your safety comes first of course but in ordinary situations remember that you don’t always have to be nice. If you’re low on energy, keep it for yourself
This one is true. I'd just add that, sometimes, it's your non-nice side that protects you from harm (both psychological and physical), and from people who misinterpret your niceness. You really gotta learn to see who deserves your nice side and in which situations.
Unfortunately, many people will act nice in order to avoid harm, even if they are not in harm's way. Abuse will cause you to form those behaviors and beliefs.
actually she is saying to be nice in order to avoid harm and be b****y in ordinary, safe situations

She may have been tired too. Being b****y when you don't need to be, to someone who is being nice to you (the shopkeeper) is not necessary, and is hurtful. You don't have to talk, but you can say 'thank you' and leave it at that.

If you work hard to become "perfect" to one person - believe me, you'll be "imperfect" to the next. It took me half my life to STOP changing to please others - the truth always comes out and you lose anyway. Just be who you are.
Don’t sacrifice too much for your job, don’t lose sight of yourself and your worth in the face of pressure from work. You are replaceable in any position, remember that no job is worth damaging your physical, mental health, valuable relationships and happiness. Capitalism doesn’t care for us, it’s just not worth it
Ofc capitalism doesn't care for you, it is just a concept of merit. While your beloved socialism tricked you into thinking it cares, when in the end it drags everybody down the drain.
The world tries so hard to convince us that the way we look is the most important and defining thing about us when in fact it's not really important at all. We are so much more than our bodies, we are magic!
I have yet to set this into my soul. I sometimes feel like looks are my only best atribute and that makes me feel empty and shallow.
Yes! ...although, some people are much less than they look like, no?
People always told me that people that have the best personality are always ugly and the reason they have a good personality is to compensate for the ugliness. Why is the world so meannnn
o god, this is the wrongest thing ever. it's same level wrong like saying that ugly people are always bad persons because they are full of envy and anger. trust me, world is not black and white.
Load More Replies...You’re not perfect and you don’t have to be. You’re not going to be everyone’s cup of tea but it doesn’t matter. Don’t change yourself to get other’s approval, don’t apologise for who you are
Don't apologize for who you are. So powerful, so right and so so difficult to learn. At 58 I think I'm finally there!
Sharing your emotions takes courage, it often brings you closer to the people you're sharing with. Sometimes people make you feel weird when sharing but maybe it's not you that's weird but them who feel discomfort because of your vulnerability. Try to practice sharing your emotions when you feel compelled to, perhaps remain conscious of who you chose to be open with.
I absolutely agree with this!! All of us in this society are conditioned to ignore our emotions and repress our feelings so as to be objective. Look at what this has wrought.
But not when they start yelling at you and saying sh*t about you only because somebode else pissed them off. Don't want that kind of 'sharing' :-/
We all grow and change over time and so do our relationships. Not everyone is meant to be in your life forever. Friends come and go, allow them to, and don't be afraid to let go of relationships (platonic/romantic) that are no longer good for you
I agree with everything so far, I even agree with this to an extent. I do worry that the ones with this sort of message can be taken out of context. "No Longer Healthy" or "toxic" (seen above) -- that could be something where there is a definite need to remove a person from your life. I can also see people using this as a way to justify not dealing with things too though... and not only that, but not giving the person any chance or opportunity to work on things. I guess I read these and I am immediately like "yeah, definitely" and then I think about friends, and if they thought this way about me, and it kind of terrifies me lol
I believe that if a person, such as one in your example, can no longer work with someone to improve the relationship, then it is no longer a healthy one in that person's eyes. No one should be forced to work something out if they feel that there is nothing to work out. Remember: It always takes 2 to tango. If it were just one, you would be just playing with yourself!
Load More Replies...In work and relationships, it hurts to hear someone doesn’t want you or your ideas & it can really knock your self worth.

Sadly enough I think that they are right in some way. It seems that people valuates much better a person if she looks atractive.
Load More Replies...capitalism? really? how stupid it is. so in soviet union we had no beauty standards, no makeup, no high hills, no diets and workouts, no hair dying, no body shaming, no fashion icons, no movie stars, no beautiful women were marrying important guys, we were not even shaving legs probably she thinks.
Lol. What! You mean those things happen in other places besides America? No way! (Just kidding)
Load More Replies...This is, of course, utter nonsense: women have been using beauty products for centuries and indeed probably invented most of the earliest ones, long before there were business, a patriarchy or a capitalist system to expand and exploit them.
Capitalism had not been identified in biblical times, and there's a lot of talk about beauty, especially in women, in the Bible. Not saying it's right, but 200 years of history isn't responsible for that.
i love the fact that she was drawn without a bra (not because i'm a perv, but because comfortability is more important than 'fitting in')
This is blatantly untrue, for so many reasons. This is just as stupid as saying "The beauty of nature was created by American camera makers, so they could sell more cameras." Beauty, whether in nature or humans, does exist. Beauty can be admired, appreciate and sought after. Beauty can also be exploited for profit. Regardless of the endeavour, if a profit can be gleaned, someone will try to exploit it. We see "flaws" in ourselves and then seek a solution. Someone sees the need for a solution and sets out to profit from it.
Don't make fun of their fashion, or their hair, or anything. Get out of the habit of being critical of other women, the world is critical enough
And if you like something on them, don't be shy or lazy to tell them. Make them happy with your honest compliment. I love to do this.

Not so long ago I was at a party with some members of my family. At one point we were sitting there with my girl cousin and her girl cousin. The spirits were high. And then that other cousin starts talking about that woman that just passed us by. The woman was quite overweight, wearing heavy makeup, but a very short skirt and really white high boots with an enormous heel. The comments my cousin’s cousin uttered were horrible, she called the woman a pig, a cow, a tart, etc. And then suddenly my cousin, a traditionalist, a quiet and submissive soccer mom, who rarely expresses an opinion different from the one of her dominating husband’s, goes: “I don’t think you should be using that language. A woman should never go against another woman, especially using the offensive language a man might use against us. Let everyone be who thy are.” The other one was dumbstruck. And then she apologised. I was really touched and so proud of my cousin that night. Criticism is ok, hypercriticism is not.
women are often encouraged to be very critical of one another--we've all known the mean girls or women who look down their nose at other women or girls who feel they're being judged.

You’ve heard the saying “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” and there is a lot of truth to it, but sometimes what doesn’t kill you leaves you fucking traumatized and/or with PTSD so be gentle with yourself when it comes to facing life’s many challenges. Don’t let platitudes like this make you feel like you’re failing to somehow “rise above” your circumstances
Trauma is very difficult to get through. Always, no matter how strong a person you are. PTSD is going to be with you for the rest of your life, creating anxiety and fear. Trauma does make you stronger, because you know that whatever comes next, you will have the strength to survive. It teaches you empathy and compassion, which allows you to be supportive towards others who are going through their own trauma.
This if often easier said than done but it's really helpful when you can get it right. Don't worry about other people, what they're doing or what they think of you. Stay focused on yourself and your goals
People are also, generally, not thinking about you, but their own worries, problems and insecurities
Get behind other women, build them up, support them, their success is our success
This looks like a plus-size model I see all the time on Catherines' and Woman Within's websites.
This one is sexist. Celebrate other people's success regardless of their sex, skin, etc.
Hmm. I wouldn't get behind the success of a woman dictator, or a woman kleptocrat, or, say, one who openly called for genocide of whole groups of people. If such a woman succeeded in her aims, that certainly wouldn't be my success.
I'm sure the OP is referring to positive successes. Bad people are bad people, period.
Load More Replies...i Wonder here… do woman Always envy other for saying that? why not celebrate others success ? it's not ok to celebrate men success?
Women have generally less opportunities to succeed than men, so that's why we should celebrate women who do succeed against all odds and not be jealous of them, because they're success if paving the way for other women. It's not that you can't be happy for men who succeed, it's just that men have more opportunities to succeed
Load More Replies...Oh and btw things that you might not think affect you actually do. For example most men don’t realize that they also suffer from the patriarchy. Toxic masculinity is a dangerous by-product of the patriarchy and restricts and punishes men for deviating from a particular idea of masculinity. This hurts them, and in turn they hurt us. It is in all of our best interest to rid this world of oppressive power structures!
The problem is that women get raped/abused and men and boys get raped/abused also. The commun person who abuses most women, men and boys/girls are : MEN. It is a men problem and we should address it as such. We should help men and try and find out why there is so much abused perpetrated by men and try to address the situations. It's a real problem and I am sure there are good solutions. We just need to stop blaming the women and telling them what to do to avoid this situation. NO. We should help the men stop these behaviours.
Although it might feel like you’re barely surviving rn, and you’re drowning, it’s not always going to be like this. There are new and positive experiences you’re going to have, people you will meet that will make you happy you’re alive, don’t lose hope

You can't control your feelings, all you can do is decide what do to with them when they arrive. Try not to run away from your feelings, even the ones that don't feel good. Try to remember that you are not your feelings and your feelings are not always reality
You can't completely control your feelings but you can learn to moderate them so they don't become intense enough to interrupt your mental wellbeing
Exactly! There’s a midpoint between having management when you’re angry- and scolding a boy for crying. If you scold someone, anyone, for crying, that’s just cruel, and it’s one of the reasons people are scared to show their emotions.
Load More Replies...For example, we can choose what we do with our anger, it can be very energizing and set us on a wholesome path of radical action. And there are a lot of things wrong in a society, and people can help change things. Example the civil rights movement in America. ... The doctors who set up World Health Organization.
You cannot control them, but you can improve them. Unless you had a real traumatic event, most of your painful feelings are result of stress (work, school, family, acceptance, friends, your secret crush, judgemental strangers, your own brain etc.) The good news is, you can lower your stress levels with the proper vitamins and minerals as a "first aid". Then you can proceed into making some real improvements.
Or you can choose what you do with them. Befriend your feelings and do not let them dictate your actions. Anger is one thing, expressing that anger is a separate thing. I choose to celebrate my anger but not express it in ways which are violent or even public at all.
Load More Replies...You can work on changing your mindset so that those feelings don't come up as often, and you can control how you express the feelings when they do come up. So in some ways, yes you can control your feelings.
As for getting past this as a child, Fred Rogers said it best: "What do you do with the mad that you feel When you feel so mad you could bite? When the whole wide world seems so wrong, And nothing you do seems very right? I can stop when I want to Can stop when I wish I can stop any time. And what a good feeling to feel like this And know that the feeling is really mine. Know that there's something deep inside That helps us become what we can."
