So, I feel the need to post this, because it could help several people...

Some insight: Regardless of how I portray myself here on reddit, I haven't been feeling 100% lately. Major slump, financial shit &amp; relationship issues (communication). 

While speaking with my therapist, he said a few things...
1. Even though, the goal is to fully heal from these mental illnesses, I am allowed to feel emotions. We are allowed to feel angry, sad, disappointed, etc....etc. We are still human beings, and being able to feel emotions is a key component to a healthy life. 
2. We have to figure out our limits. Our boundaries. Figure out how much we can change vs how much we can handle. If it's something we have to get done, take baby steps, ask for help, and pace ourselves. 
3. Most of us have said before "I shouldn't be this upset, or I shouldn't be feeling like this. That in itself is setting a high expectation for ourselves, and it's super critical, which is unhealthy for our healing journey. 
4. Not everybody is going to understand what you are going through, don't take this as a sign that nobody cares. It's simply the fact that most people aren't equipped to understand, even if they tried. Our triggers aren't their triggers, and they don't know how we feel, because they don't feel that way. We are essentially responsible for our own triggers, as hard as that may be. 
5. NOBODY IS PERFECT. WE NEVER WILL BE. Stop expecting that to be the outcome, because it's not going to happen. 

Clearly, saying this has its exceptions. If someone around you is toxic, by all means, that needs to be dealt with, but you are good enough, and there isn't a single person who understands you, better than yourself.
