Hey everyone! Long time no talk! So since we are all here to support one another I figured I would share a tip/ a trick I've been using now a days in order to help my self stay calm and to try and keep me on my own two feet and some of you may want to use this trick because it's really been working for me so maybe it will help you! Recently my anxiety has been wicked crazy (I recently have been saying wicked a lot lol) and something so small has helped me so much, attached are six pictures saying just breathe, I have used all of these pictures as a lock screen background on my phone. Since I always have my phone on me and I bet some of you do too this might be something you want to try, set a lock screen background with either "Just Breathe" or an inspirational quote that may help you get through your day, so when your feeling anxious or sick or panicky or like you have to give up, you can just click your home button and see the quote. The quote can help you keep going, make you feel reassured and make you calm down a bit! It's just an idea but I can say this truest helped me, I would read the words and take a deep breath and remember to take one day at a time because it's just a bad day not a bad life!

                                   So give me something to [b e l i e v e]                        Cause I am [l i v i n g] just to breathe                                                                       And I need something MORE                                              To keep on breathing for

                         So give me something to believe

One day I decided that I was beautiful, and so I carried out my life as if I was a beautiful girl. I wear colors that I really like, I wear makeup that makes me feel pretty, and it really helps. It doesn’t have anything to do with how the world perceives you. What matters is what you see. Your body is your temple, it’s your home, and you must decorate it.

We get told all the times to not care what other people think and to just be ourselves but it’s so much harder to do then say. Then people blame society for being so judge mental and it’s true society is but hold on a minute. We make up society, every single one of us. So if we all are promoting individuality then why isn’t society changing? Because things are easier said then don right? And because there will always be judgmental people? Well why don’t we as a society of innovators really do and really try. Let’s change society, let’s change us, so we all don’t end up as a statistic.

Hey guys! This has nothing to do with TSH (sorry). But, I'm asking you guys one favor. When I first got here to the states from the Philippines I had a friend. I believe his name was Gerard, I may be wrong. We used to live in the same apartment building down in Downtown, Los Angeles. I'm looking for Gerard because not only is he my childhood friend, but he's my very first friend. I may have little memories with him, but they are still special moments that I count in my book. I love want to be able to see how he's doing after all these years. I was blessed to have him as my very first friend. I thank God that He gave me a friend at such a young age (3). ❤️ 💖So please, if there's any way you guys know who he is or if you can repost this to spread the word & #howareyougerard it would mean the world to me.❤️ 💖 I just want to see how an old friend is doing and hopefully somehow be reminded of our childhood together. Even if he doesn't remember me it's okay I'd still be happy knowing that he's doing well. Thank you guys so much for taking the time to see this. I have hope and I'm not losing that hope. I love you TSH fam ❤️ 💙 💚 💜 💗 💛 #teamstrongheart #TSH #hope #wheresgerard #help #please #fam #throwback #waybackwednesday #LA #downtownLA #howareyougerard #childhood #memories #childhoodmemories #positive #positivevibes #hopeful #positivity #repost #firstfriend #losangeles #randomactsofkindness

Valentine's day is coming. This is one of my favorite quotes from one of @torikelly 's song Dear No One. Even if you don't have a Valentine or a significant other don't worry, you're not alone. The more you wait the more good things come. All you have to do is wait for them and they will come. Even if it takes 30 years "It will all be worth it in the end." Don't lose hope because there is someone out there for you. ❤️ 💖 💗 💜 💛 💚 💙 #valentines #valentinesday #quote #love #postivity #positivequote #torikelly #dearnoone #teamstrongheart #notalone #suicideprevention #suicideawareness #tori #kelly

Whether you have ADHD, PTSD, depression, anorexia nervosa, OCD, and any mental illness its just as important as anything else in the world. Don’t let people fool you with their words saying, “That’s really what you’re complaining about? You do know that there’s kids out there that are hungry right?” NO. Your mental health is just as important. You’re strong and perfect. We need to raise awareness for those who are struggling mentally. -© 💖 💜 💛 💚 💙 ❤️

What to purge, and what not to purge!

I’ve been seeing these kinds of posts on pro ana/mia accounts and they’re a bit inaccurate so here is my own two cents.

Things you shouldn’t purge:

Bread products: they are delicious and contain lots of carbohydrates your body needs to function optimally!

Chocolate, sweets, ice cream, etc: you deserve to eat “junk food” if you really want it. Listening to your cravings isn’t a bad thing, and all food, in moderation, is healthy for your body. Food and guilt shouldn’t be related at all!

Fruits and Vegetables: they are full of important vitamins and minerals that your body needs to survive and not get deficiencies that could put you in the hospital! They also contain protein and carbohydrates!

Actually, you shouldn’t purge any food you’ve eaten… Eating is not a crime and you should not feel the need to compensate for having eaten “too much”. You will just feel worse. Trust me, it is not worth it.

Things you absolutely SHOULD purge:

Purge your “following” list of any toxic thinspo, or pro ana/mia accounts that are incredibly detrimental to your health. Block any pro ana accounts you know of, so your chances of seeing thinspo, or ana tips, are decreased. You don’t deserve to be exposed to that kind of triggering content.

If applicable, purge your own Tumblr account of things that could be triggering to yourself, or anyone else who may see it.

Purge your house of any scales, laxatives, diet pills, diuretics etc. They are bad for you, and are keeping you stuck, and you don’t deserve that. The hardest part is actually taking the big step of getting rid of them. Once they’re gone, it’s easier, and actually feels quite liberating.

Lastly, purge your life of any negativity. This includes people who are toxic and are making you unhappy. You deserve a positive, friendly environment and friends who make you feel good about yourself.

Remember: you deserve life, not to purge.

The semi colon represents a pause; you could have ended it, but you didn’t. You kept going. You pushed through. And that is admirable.

A year ago I wanted nothing more than to end my life. Now I can't wait to start really living
