I can't live like this

I'm going to get better

[bpdetox]

I started taking medication for my mental health issues and I have to say this is the best I have ever felt in my life. Shit can get better

Listen up. There is literally an app that can help you avoid self harm and I don’t know why we aren’t talking about it.

Calm Harm can be tailored to your needs and will provide strategies to help you get past those crucial moments of wanting to harm.

It’s also totally FREE.

once again, it’s called CALM HARM

2018 is the year of recovering from the past 5 years in every possible way

2018 isn’t going to be any different unless you actually put effort in to change it

ways to start feeling again

sit in the sun without anything to do, feel the heat of the rays hit your skin, realize that this sunlight has travelled a very long way to reach you

walk around barefoot and try to feel as much of the ground under your feet as you can, notice every rock and blade of grass

sit quietly for a while and notice the touch of breath in your nostrils, feel how the air gets cooler as you inhale and warmer as you exhale

drive around aimlessly and blast some of your favorite songs, scream/sing along to them and feel the vibrations of your favorite lyrics as they change the air in your throat and around you, feel that the music is healing you from the inside out

stay away from alcohol or drugs for a few days, try to be as aware and present as you can in every moment, stop trying to numb or dull your senses

eat a few meals without any distractions, notice every bite and taste every flavor that covers your tongue, be grateful for it all

look up at the stars and the moon, understand how small we all are and how immense the universe is, realize what a miracle everything is, let your heart swell with amazement and admiration for life itself

ok this is actually cool bc doing all of this is a technique called “mindful thinking” that is extremely useful for people with anxiety disorders and dissociation disorders and stuff!

me: *scares myself to the point where I can’t even function because of the anxiety I have created over a situation*

the situation: *works out fine*

me: oh

Friendly reminder

“Doing your best” does not mean working yourself to the point of a mental breakdown.

[vastderp]

this one still smashes me in the face ten times a year. do not ignore pain, it’s no longer your best at that point

[xovortex]

it’s no longer your best at that point

[cindycrawford]

me: am i gonna have a good day today?

my anxiety:

But then it passed, as all things do.

Shout out to the mentally ill kids that do really well in school despite all of the shit they deal with on top of that. And fuck everyone that dismisses your mental illness because of how “high functioning” you are or “how well you’re doing” when you’re really not okay

you can’t get post-holidays depression if u were depressed all thru holidays
