INSTRUCTIONS ON NOT GIVING UP

what is it about me sitting in my little corner of the Internet and saying “I actually don’t hate myself as an adult now and I want to be nice to people and that’s my entire thing” that makes these anons start foaming at the mouth

[yo-its-matt]

I’ll be perfectly honest, I’ve spent the better part of a decade wishing I weren’t fucking alive and beating depression off with a caveman’s wooden club. If I get to a point in my adult life after all that shit where I can finally say “I don’t want to see myself dead anymore, I like who I am” and you have the gall to tell me I have too much self confidence now, I’m gonna take the club I killed my depression with and I’m gonna start beating you with it

The really nice thing about how this post has aged is that the notes are filled with similar stories of people coming to terms with loving themselves over time, unlearning the shitty self deprecating joke-but-not-joke mentality we’re currently seeing others struggle to leave behind on the ol’ bird app.

People will add their experiences, even to this day, and it’ll be so out of the blue for me every time it happens, but faith-restoring nevertheless. Keep up the good work y’all, I’m proud of ya.

My beautiful, wonderful friend @anneuhken who some of you may know as Sasha has offered to help my get donations by gifting fics or knitted hats for those who are able to help me and my family. 

What the donations are for: Emergency rent help

What type of fanfics: Thats up to sasha but she has said she will write TFC if people want. 

Note: we’ve gotten $450 in donations, our goal rn is to get another $50 so we can deposite money in the landlords account this week. He’s been mentioning eviction so it would really help.

Update: we were able to deposit $500. I feel so lucky with everyone that helped out, it make me so sad that i have to keep asking but its still not a lot considering how much our rent is $1630 a month. We’ve gone to two food banks to help so we can put everything towards the rent but my mom still hasn’t gotten paid yet (her pay check is only going to be $380 this month. Everyone is getting antsy and worried. If you can please please help or reblog this i would be grateful. All were trying to get is another $500 to tide the landlord over for now.

I’VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THAT CAT ONE FOREVER

[capturedbythegay]

This is actually quite helpful

[skzhhssh-deactivated20190330]

its really comforting to know that all the times i was at my lowest and loneliest in the past the whole time i had my self in the future and present who had survived those things looking back with love and tenderness and wishing desperately to offer comfort…i am my own guardian angel and i can use that knowledge when im struggling now and remember that somewhere there is a version of me that has survived this and is watching me with love and pride and joy in her heart

a fools guide to not wanting to die anymore

by me, a fool who doesnt wanna die anymore 

never make a suicide joke again. yes this includes “i wanna die” as a figure of speech. swear off of it. actually make an effort to change how you think about things.

find something to compliment someone for at least 4 times a day. notice the little things about the world that make you happy, and use that to make other people happy.

talk to people. initiate conversation as often as you possibly can. keep your mind busy and you wont have to worry anymore

picture the bad intrusive thoughts in youe head as an edgy 13 year old and tell them to go be emo somewhere else

if someone makes you feel bad most of the time, stop talking to them. making yourself hang out with people who drain you is self harm. stop it.

[mental-health-recovery]

You’re not reading this by accident.

Everything is going to be okay.

Breathe and remember that you’ve been in this place before.

You’ve been this uncomfortable, anxious and scared, and you survived.

Close your eyes and feel the universe within you making a way for you right now.

[empathysuggestion]

one day you will be happy. not constantly, but it will become a theme in your life. you will have days where you feel sad and that’s normal. but eventually you can wake up with a smile on your face even if there isn’t a reason. you’ll see yourself through a clearer lens. you’ll think of the best case scenarios. you’ll find people who you can share your happiness with. you’ll settle into your own body and mind with a sense of security.
