Hypochondriac Do's and Dont's
Don't look up your symptoms! You know it'll only make you more nervous!
Do look up support forus for hypochondria and anxiety. You'll realize you aren't alone.
Don't excessively speak about your worries to others. It'll get you stuck in a feedback look of looking for reassurance.
Do talk to a mental health professional or journal how you feel! Don't just bottle it up.
Don't limit yourself because of your condition. You are strong and are more capable than you think.
Do give yourself breaks when you need them. Be kind to yourself, you're going through a challenging mental health struggle.
Don't sit with these feelings and do nothing with them. Bottling them up can lead to more anxiety.
Do find things you enjoy to distract yourself from your thoughts. Hobbies and sports can help you not think about it.
You are strong. You can do this!
Positivity
Remember that social media should not be a benchmark for how people generally are or how they behave! People say horrible things in comment sections and it can be hard on your mental health. People are usually much nicer in person! Limit your social media time and/or don't look at comments!
You are valuable and loved no matter who you are or what you're going through!
Little List #1
This is just a little list of things that make life meaningful and enjoyable. Maybe it can brighten your day a bit.
The way the full moon shines
The warm scent of a candle
Libraries on rainy days
Seasons changing (I love autumn!)
Flowers soft petals and colors
(I'll probably make more later, but feel free to add anything you enjoy if you want :3)
Aliens? Maybe we're aliens
Does anyone else feel like they're so different from so many people that you've gotta be from another dimension or something? Ever since I was little, despite how kind I was to others, they never treated me very kindly back. Like I was a monster or creature or something. As I got older it only became more noticible. Like, maybe I am from somewhere else. Maybe I don't get along well with humans cause I'm not one lol. I'm not sure, but my expirience on Earth has felt so foreign. Anyone else feel this way? Maybe it's just a shared expirience of anyone who isn't nuerotypical. I'm not sure, but I'm all in favor of creating our own little alien club where we can be kind and patient and empathetic with eachother.
Just in case no one has told you today
I am proud of you. I don't care how small of a step you took. Maybe you got out of bed or brushed your teeth. Drank water or ate something. Did you water your plants or care for pets? Amazing! If you're caring for children, or someone else important in your life, you're so admirable. Maybe you just cleaned a room or did laundry. You could've read or created some kind of art. You could have done none of these things. And I'm still happy you're here with us again. You conqured the troubles thus far. You've kicked their ass. You're the winner. And I know when the challange arrises again, you'll succeed. Because you're capable and strong. And you aren't alone.
Mental Illness
Like a lot of people, I have a fair share of mental health issues. And I wish that having syptoms of the illness was all I had to deal with. Especially when you're on medication, you wait for it to get better and never get worse again. But a lot of the times, that's just not the case. Medication can be lovely and work wonders... if it works at all... and if you get diagnosed properly and recieve the right medication... and if the medication has no adverse affects... and if it works forever. Which, being honest, for many people, it doesn't.
Ideally, I wish we lived in a world where mental health struggles are always taken seriously. And where people are freely offered all the types of care they need. Not only medications, but also, psychology and therapy appointments. Visits with nutritionists to ensure you're on a diet that best suits your needs, because diet often has a part in mental health. Resources to affordable, healthy food. Emergency care for when it gets bad, at all hours. Stays at hospitals where you can get back on your feet after a bad episode, or if you just need some help.
But sadly, this isn't the case. For many people like me (I sadly live in the United States for reference), we can barely afford to get diagnosed, if at all. Many of us aren't even mentally stable enough to hold a job that barely pays us, so what are we to do? If you need medication, you need money. If you need therapy, to unpack the things tomenting you, you need money. If you want to see a nutritionist, you need money. If you want to buy healthier foods, you need money. Some may say that you should learn to cook... I mean after all, besides the ingredients, that doesn't cost a thing. Except for time, energy, and motivation, which people in mental health crisis often struggle with. So you need to get a job. A job that pays you pennies so you can get your help. Let's just hope that with you being on the verge of a mental break, you can hold that job without anything bad happening.
And the worst part of all is I don't have any solutions for you. I am not some god that can take away pain and struggle, trust me, I wish I was... but I'm not. The only thing I can offer you is the comfort that you aren't alone. There are people just like you, struggling. We are all hoping for better and many of us have made it to the otehr side. I'm personally still in the tunnel, but I've made it this far. Please hold on to anything you love. Music, holidays, pets, friends, family, art. Anything to hold on. You are strong and capable and have made it this far. Thousands of people and I believe you can do this. I know you're in pain and discomfort and anguish. I know you may not know how to stop crying. I know you might want so badly to wish away the nightmare. I'm here with you. Be kind to yourself. Take it easy, and take baby steps. Even just getting out of bed is a hug accomplishment. You are not alone.
Hello
I'm writing this so that anyone who stumbles upon this small corner of the internet, understands what this is. Like many, I've sat in the darkness, one with the shadows, wondering why I'm here. Looking up at the stars and feeling for some reason, that I should'nt be here on Earth. Like I understand more, but still know so little. Feeling like home is just out of reach, and no matter at how far I stretch my hand out to grab it, theres no way back. If I'm stuck here, I want to leave something behind when I inevitably move on. Maybe someone can benifit from the things I have to say. Maybe another lost soul can find comfort for just one more night. Or maybe I can just talk to the shadows as I normally do... in which case, I guess there's no harm done.
All that being said, I'm not some all knowing, wise person. I'm just lost and I want to explore my thoughts and provide comfort to those who need it through my silly little corner of the internet. Welcome to anyone who feels the same.
