I’m so sorry:( See how long you can convince yourself you’ll be okay? So say, ‘if I can do the next 5 minutes, I can do tonite.’ Then repeat? Think about what you want to be able to do one day, and remember you don’t have to be in perfect health, or completely okay to achieve them. They’re YOUR dreams and you’ll get to them any way you can, come hell or high water. You deserve them simply for existing, and loving and caring. We are guaranteed lows in life and sometimes they feel like they are lasting forever. They aren’t your forever though, and if anything- for the next 5 minutes, you will be okay❤️

I’m sorry you’re having such a hard time right now. I hope my ideas will help you. Treat yourself to something you enjoy. Get a manicure, go to the movies, go for a walk, or buy a sweet treat. I recommend getting some flowers. It’s amazing how happy they can make you feel. Focus on positive things. Make a list of everything you’re thankful for or read some inspirational quotes. Find something to look forward to and focus on it when you’re feeling down. Also, don’t forget to take care of yourself. Exercise is great for mental health. If you’re at all like me and have very little motivation to exercise, try dancing. Please remember that no amount of pain you’re feeling can come close to how special and loved you are❤️❤️

Hey guys! Trigger warning because I don’t want anyone to read this and adopt a new intrusive thought! So I’ve been struggling recently with something that seems pretty unique, and I could really use any help I can get with this thought. Basically, a little while back, I all of a sudden had this thought that nothing matters, because at the end of the day, we are all going to die anyways. Since then, any time I start getting really excited or if I start feeling depressed about something, that intrusive thought pops into my head. It tells me that there’s no point in feeling anything deeply because it’s not a big deal and life is short. I know some people might say this is a good way to look at things that stress you out, but it’s really really starting to affect me in the realm of things that make me happy too. I’ll get excited to move in with my bf, and then this thought pops in intrusively and I immediately feel nothing now. I’m struggling to start my schoolwork that I was looking forward to doing well on because this way of thinking tells me it doesn’t even matter to finish my degree and be passionate about it, because I’m just going to die someday and this doesn’t matter. The things that made me excited before, now don’t simply because of this very thought. Not to be dramatic, but this one thought has changed my entire mindset and is literally changing my life. I really really really need help with this. It’s causing me not to feel like I used to, and I’m scared for how the rest of my life will feel now that I’ve adopted this intrusive thought.😢
