always remember this about anxiety-
it climbs up, reaches a peak, and then comes down.
it doesn't last forever even though in the moment it might feel like it does. you're going to be okay. please take care of yourself.

A friend once told me that when they are struggling with getting laundry done, she pretends it is her sworn duty to smuggle the young prince out of the castle to safety, disguised in a laundry hamper.
Now, when I am struggling with hygiene, I pretend I am part of a village with an annual festival, and I get one day a year to spend luxuriously at a bathhouse in preparation.
What my friend imparted on me was the skill of turning mundane tasks into fantastical adventures to make them more compelling and bearable.
So next time you need to go on a mental health walk, maybe consider doing reconnaissance for a secret underground organisation.
Next time cooking is too much of a chore, consider you ability to turn space station rations into a feast to the delight of your crewmates.

something my therapist told me that personally has been rather helpful is that coping skills are not to make us feel better. they are to create space between u and ur feelings. they r to help u cope and do what u need to do. they are not meant to resolve ur negative feelings. if they do, that's a bonus. but if they don't, that's ok. learning that honestly helped so much. i'm such a perfectionist that i can't even cope if it's not gonna be perfect and this like took a weight off my shoulders. if i use a coping skill and don't feel better, that's ok. i am simply trying to distance myself from my emotion. i felt like i wasn't coping correctly before i learned this. like maybe i was doing something wrong or there was just something wrong with me.

I’m so big on the phrase ‘just say that’ because honestly that’s all you have to do, just say it.

Poison into positivity.
Sometimes therapy looks like manically sketching your emotional support pirate.

being like this and living with someone who doesn't understand is so hard.

friendly reminders:
you don't have to be productive every day
you are worthy even if all you did today was get out of bed
there are people out there who care about you
your existence makes a difference
if something bothers you, then it bothers you. no one has the right to tell you otherwise
you are allowed to take up space
there is no 'right way' to grieve
you cannot put a time limit on emotions
your likes and interests are valid and they matter
it's okay to take your time in doing things. not everyone can do everything at the same pace

⭐️💤🌙
- cuddling with stuffies
- can barely keep your eyes open
- tiniest stretches !
- little mumbles and "mmhs" throughout the night <3
- lullabies playing to soothe your wild mind
- listening to the outside noises, and maybe you're a little bit scared of them (don't worry! the outside noise won't hurt you, dear <3)
- falling asleep and waking up once or twice in the night, just to fall back asleep immediately
- waking up in the morning with sheet marks on your skin, because you just slept so well <3
good night, little one!
sleep tight ^_^
NO NSFW INTERACTION AT ALL

me when i realize that the media i consume during bad times that makes me feel seen and understood is also making me wrongly believe that refusing to let anyone in is a reasonable coping skill, fueling my self-hatred, and worsening my ability to be vulnerable with the people i care about:
