I met a fourth grader and her name was yue, and she was like ‘yea I’m named after a character from avatar the last air bender cause my parents are huge nerds’ and all I said was ‘that’s rough buddy’ and she beamed at me and I’m pretty sure I made her day lmao

alternative depression tips for when you read the ‘depression tips’ post and laugh hollowly, bc only in your fondest dreams could you manage to do any of those things

dry shampoo and face wipes are your friend. if you can brush your teeth you’ll feel maybe 2% less disgusting. wash your hands.

smelling nice is gr9, rubbing moisturiser in is Exhausting. perfume, scented candles and linen sprays are way quicker.

try to change your clothes at least every other day. wear sweats or pjs as often as you physically can.

you don’t need to put on underwear if you’re not leaving the house (that goes double for bras and binders)

drink any water that hasn’t been sitting out on your desk for a week. dust doesn’t taste good. stay hydrated. I fill one of those 2 litre bottles in the morning and keep it with me so I don’t have to get up and walk to the sink.

re: cleaning, try and keep one room vaguely clean. if everywhere else is a shit hole that’s fine, but you can go sit in your one tidy space and chill for a bit. it’s fine if that’s the bathroom or just the corner of your bedroom where there’s no crap on the floor. find a tiny space that isn’t horrifying and sit in it.

music helps.

eat a thing. +5 points if it has a fresh fruit or vegetable in it. take out is acceptable if it comes with veggies.

if your creativity curled up and died a long time ago try and find something that at least reminds you what it was like to feel inspired. watch a film, look at some art (probably not your own), read a thing. if that makes you feel worse, just?? don’t think about it??

grounding yourself is actually really helpful. open the window and breathe for 2 minutes. lay down on the floor and feel your whole body (unless you don’t want to in which case: lay down and don’t feel anything except the floor) 

human interaction is Good. text a family member you don’t hate if you have one. message a friend. reply to someone’s personal post with ‘SAME’. make your own personal post asking the void for validation. stare out the window at people and remind yourself that life exists outside of the black space inside your head. whatever works.

pets are amazing, agreed. watch some funny animal vines if you don’t have one.

Rihanna made an appearance at the Ivy League school to accept a plaque given to her by Allen Counter, the director of the Harvard Foundation. She was named Humanitarian of the Year by Harvard University. 29-year-old star, who by the way has never graduated high school, was honored thanks for her charitable efforts. She created an oncology center in Barbados to fight breast cancer ans found the non-profit, The Clara Lionel Foundation Global Scholarship Program, to assist in funding Caribbean-born students who attend college in the U.S. Rihanna also backs the Global Partnership for Education and Global Citizen Project, that provides ‘access to education in over 60 developing countries, giving priority to girls, and those affected by lack of access to education in the world today.’

Rihanna becomes the 1st female singer to receive Harvard University’s  "Humanitarian of the Year.“ Very deserving.

2.28.17 | a pink post to say goodbye to february 

[hsm2006]

I can’t stress this enough: there is a point at which your mental health needs end and another person’s begin. By this I mean that while you may need a certain kind of care and support (to which you are of course entitled), your demands may put another person (you significant other, close friends, etc.) in a situation which is unfair or traumatic for them. No one must be a caretaker for you especially if they are not a trained professional. Too often young kids are put in positions of responsibility for their friend’s well-being, and while a good friend wants the best for you, they can not always provide you with what you need. 

This post is not to shame kids dealing with mental illness who may be “clingy” or need more reassurance and it is NOT intended to shame kids out of going to their friends for help if they don’t know where to turn. It’s about respecting boundaries and recognizing that you can’t always put the responsibility of your mental health onto your peers without also putting them in harm’s way.
