It is snack time buddy, can you eat something for me? Even if it’s just a few bites? I’m so so glad you’re still here

[self-care-suggestion]

Who you are is good enough. I want you to know that i really think that. People can always grow but you can’t fault yourself for where you started. I am so impossibly proud of you.

Hey I challenge you, if you’ve been struggling with something physical, trouble at work, relationship complications etc, give yourself the night off. I’ve titled myself your friendly manager and this is your approved time off. You have the night to not think of or acknowledge those things. Just be you, be at peace, get some rest, eat some food. Have a night for just you and your thoughts

[self-care-suggestion]

Hey there. It’s been a long time. I missed you. I’m glad you’re still here

If you are unmotivated, stuck and struggling to do basic or even complex tasks, see if you can get a buddy for a power hour. Be in a discord call or be in person, but for an hour you both do something that you have a lot of trouble keeping to. School work, emails, work work, cleaning, whatever it is. Go for a power hour and see how much you can get done. A friend always helps to have around.

Hey I wanted to ask if avoiding to think about a certain problem or situation by constantly distracting yourself a bad thing and if it is how do I deal with it

In my unprofessional opinion, it depends on the topic. I more or less distracted/ escapism'd my way into recovery from self harm. Now if the tasks are work/ school/ home/ care related, I'd advise getting to slot in even just 30 minutes a day into whatever it is. You can do so much more than you'd think in that time. Plus, then even if the task isn't done, you don't have to feel bad because you did your time slot of that thing for the day. I hope this helps. I love you. You can do this friend

Growth is knowing your first thought isn't right, or is rude or unkind, and acting on that knowledge the way you want to be. Sometimes trained behavior takes time. Recovering racists may still have racist thoughts but so long as actions and speech are kind and inclusive to people of all colors and creeds, there is growth there. A chronic self harmer may make triggering jokes or comments to themselves but will steer away from that line of thought when possible. Give yourself space to heal into the person you want to be.

Sometimes when you do your best, shit still doesn't work. Try to take a step back and rest. Every now and then things are just not going to work. No matter how hard you bash your head into that wall, you're still not getting through.

Take a break. A real break. And approach it with fresh eyes later.

[self-care-suggestion]

Hi there, so I dont know how to ask this or whatever but uh... My girlfriend and I agreed that we needed to break up to be alone for a while and work on ourselves, and after healing and growing, we'll talk and see if we wanna try again. We became a long distance relationship during the pandemic- almost all of it. We're being really good about boundaries and respect, and we still have great solid communication skills about our needs and comfort level and all of that. We are good for eachother in normal circumstances, supporting eachother and bringing out the best in eachother- this pandemic has kinda just brought out a lot of burried things we didn't know we had to work on in ourselves.

But

Its hard. I dont know how to ask this from a bunch of internet strangers, but I need some support. A pep talk. Some encouragement. I dont know. This is hard.

It's going to be a long *long* journey if healing. I have a good feeling about how this could turn out, but it's still a process.

I don't know. Any words of support would be nice.

Hey pal, it looks like you are putting in some real work on keeping your relationship healthy and open to moving with the both of you. Thats awesome! But its totally true that sometimes holding all of that up, especially while being long distance and (hopefully I understand this right) and not actually being in a relationship. Trauma is heavy. So the pep talk i have for you is, hang on to who you are. You're doing an awesome job, and are obviously concerned with the wellbeing of your partner. You seem to wear your heart on your sleeve friend. You're doing an awesome job. My only caution to you is while you and your partner are learning and growing together, make sure you aren't molding to who they want you to be, and that you're forming into a more defined version of you. If that makes sense. Layman's terms, make sure you aren't being something for someone else. Just be you. Love you buddy, get some good sleep and a warm meal. You rock

[self-care-suggestion]

In case your mom/dad doesn’t say it, I want you to know that I’m proud of you. I think that thing you’re doing Is awesome and I am stoked to see the amazing talented person you’re growing into. I love you kiddo

If you're going to struggle every day with something name it. The fear you know so intimately, those world shattering thoughts. Tie them up in a name. Wrap your hands around it with a word that it cannot deny. You are strong. You are the very embodiment of power, and will. Only you, by dubbing this obstacle, can overcome it. For some reason or another this is your charge. Be that every day, every minute or a rare head rearing of a blighted beast. Each time, call out its name. Demand payment for your suffering. Squelch the thing under your boot until it cannot writhe in any meaningful way any longer. Place yourself where you belong, on the throne, above the ilk

[self-care-suggestion]

If you're at the end of your rope, thinking I just can't do this anymore. Thinking this isn't ever going to get better, or that there's no way out. You feel as though you don't have the strength to carry on. I have a favor to ask. Can you walk with me here, and try one more time?

[self-care-suggestion]

Sometimes to take care of yourself means that you have to leave someone or something that was once a very important, loved part of your life.

Outgrowing places, thoughts and people will always hurt in one way or the other, but the end result is worth it.
