10 Signs You’re Probably Healing… but Also Kinda Losing It

Healing isn’t always soft music and journaling. Sometimes it’s crying in the shower and then laughing at memes 2 minutes later. If you relate to any of these, congrats—you’re probably healing… chaotically.

1. You’re setting boundaries… but in a tone that sounds like you’re quitting a job.
“Thanks for the opportunity, but I will no longer be tolerating your nonsense.”

2. You cry during commercials now.
Even the one with the dog food. Especially the one with the dog food.

3. You say “I receive that” to compliments like you’re cashing a spiritual check.
Someone: “You’re doing great.”
You: “I receive that with gratitude and 0 emotional stability.”

4. Your therapist says, “Good insight,” and you feel like you just won a Grammy.
Big healing energy. Cue the speech.

5. You’ve blocked more people than scam calls.
Growth looks like hitting “block” and sleeping better.

6. You now journal and talk to plants.
Your succulent knows more about your ex than your best friend.

7. You use phrases like “holding space” and “energetic boundaries” but also text your ex at 2 a.m.
We’re all a work in progress.

8. You’ve considered a spontaneous road trip, a new tattoo, and quitting your job—all before 10 a.m.
Healing makes you spontaneous… or unstable. Depends on the coffee.

9. You use “I’m protecting my peace” to justify not replying to texts for 3-5 business days.
It’s not ghosting, it’s inner child work.

10. You laugh more now. Even at yourself.
Which is honestly the best sign of all.

Healing is messy, funny, awkward, and beautiful.
If you’ve got whiplash from growth and breakdowns, you’re not alone.
You’re not broken—you’re blooming. Even if it’s… weird.
