It has been so long since the last time I logged on my tumblr account. About six years has passed based on the age I have on my bio, and that six years I have grown so much to the point where I feel like I have outgrown this blog, but it is a big part of my history and I really enjoyed looking back at my old posts that makes letting go of this blog so difficult but I believe that things I want to write about now are no longer in line with the theme of this blog.Â
Thank you all đ
It is during times like this that I wished I knew how I felt the first time I did this. Then I realized, I wrote about it in this blog.
It took a while but I finally recovered my old tumblr account đ
⥠casual princesses and a queen ⥠Iâll add the others some time soon. For now I need to work on commissions uwu

Do You Love Someone With Depression?
If you have a partner or are close to someone who struggles with depression, you may not always know how to show them you love them. One day they may seem fine, and the next they are sad, distant and may push you away. It is important that you know that as a person who is close to them and trusted by them, you can help your friend or partner have shorter, less severe bouts of depression. Mental illness is as real as physical illness (it is physical actually, read more about that here) and your partner needs you as much as they would need to be cared for if they had the flu.
Your relationship may seem one-sided during these times, but by helping your partner through a very difficult and painful affliction, you are strengthening your relationship and their mental health in the long term.
1. Help them keep clutter at bay.
When a person begins spiraling into depression, they may feel like they are slowing down while the world around them speeds up. The mail may end up in stacks, dishes can pile up in the sink, laundry may go undone as the depressed person begins to feel more and more overwhelmed by their daily routine and unable to keep up. By giving your partner some extra help sorting mail, washing dishes or using paper plates and keeping chaos in check in general, youâll be giving them (and yourself) the gift of a calm environment. (Iâm a fan of the minimalist movement because of this, you can read more about that here.)
2. Fix them a healthy meal.
Your partner may do one of two things when they are in a depressed state. They may eat very little, or they may overeat. In either case, they may find that driving through a fast food restaurant or ordering a pizza online is just easier than fixing a meal. Eating like this, or neglecting to eat will only degrade your partnerâs health, causing her to go deeper into her depression. Help your loved one keep her body healthy, and her mind will follow. This is a great article that talks about the âBrain Dietâ which can help the symptoms of depression, and this article talks about how our modern diet could contribute to the recent rise in depression. Here is a recipe for a trail mix that is quick to make and has mood-boosting properties.
3.Get them outside.
 The benefits of getting outside for a depressed person are huge. And it is possibly the last thing on earth your partner will want to do. Take them to be somewhere in nature. Pack a picnic and lie in the sun, take a leisurely hike or plant a garden. Being barefoot in the dirt, or âearthingâ helps ground the body and reverse the effects of living in a world of emfâs, and digging in soil can actually act as an antidepressant, as a strain of bacterium in soil, Mycobacterium vaccae, triggers the release of seratonin, which in turn elevates mood and decreases anxiety. Sunshine increases Vitamin D production which can help alleviate depression. My friend Elizabeth wrote an excellent post about Vitamin D and its link to depression here.  For more information about other sources of Vitamin D, this is a great post as well as this.
4. Ask them to help you understand what theyâre feeling.
If your partner is able to articulate what they are going through, it will help them and you better understand what you are dealing with, and may give insight into a plan of action for helping your partner. Also, feeling alone is common for a depressed person and anything that combats that feeling will help alleviate the severity and length of the depression.
5. Encourage them to focus on self-care.
Depressed people often stop taking care of themselves. Showering, getting haircuts, going to the doctor or dentist, itâs all just too hard, and they donât deserve to be well taken care of anyway in their minds. This can snowball quickly into greater feelings of worthlessness since âNow Iâm such a mess, no one could ever love meâ. Help your loved one by being proactive. Tell them âIâm going to do the dishes, why donât you go enjoy a bubble bath?â can give them the permission they wonât give themselves to do something normal, healthy and self-loving.
6. Hug them.
Studies show that a sincere hug that lasts longer than 20 seconds can release feel-good chemicals in the brain and elevate the mood of the giver and receiver. Depressed people often donât want to be touched, but a sincere hug with no expectation of anything further can give your partner a lift.
7. Laugh with them.
Telling a silly joke, watching a comedy or seeing a stand up comedian will encourage your partner to laugh in spite of herself. Laughing releases endorphins and studies show can actually counteract symptoms of depression and anxiety.
8. Reassure them that you can handle their feelings.
Your partner may be feeling worthless, angry and even guilty while they are depressed. They may be afraid that they will end up alone because no one will put up with their episodes forever. Reassure them that you are in the relationship for the long haul and they wonât scare you away because they have an illness.
9. Challenge their destructive thoughts.
A depressed personâs mind can be a never-ending loop of painful, destructive thoughts. âIâm unlovable, Iâm a failure, Iâm ugly, Iâm stupidâ. Challenge these untruths with the truth. âYouâre not unlovable, I love you. You arenât a failure, here are all the things youâve accomplished.â
10.Remind them why you love them.
Look at pictures of happy times youâve had together. Tell them your favorite things about them. Reminisce about your relationship and all the positive things that have happened, and remind your partner that you love them and they will get through this.
