Random pieces of advice

The world is less scary and chaotic if you lie down on the floor

Noticing different kinds of light (stars, candles, sunshine or city lights) can bring back the feeling of wonder and hope

If you can't shower, washing your hands and face will help you feel better and cleaner

If you can't clean anything else, changing and/or washing your bedsheets can do wonders

Fresh air and being outside in general can help with depersonalisation

Spending time around animals can help you recognise what's important and calm anxious thought cycles

Techniques for emotional regulation in children can really help adults too

Putting random asortment of food on a plate without creating an actual dish still counts as a meal

Drink something warm

Delete that app

Treat yourself as if you were a kid. Buy yourself a toy, play around, learn about cool new things

Fast paced life isn't morally better and it's not good for everyone

There is no good reason to keep yourself hungry

Singing to your full lung capacity can be a great way to let out built up emotion

Tension in the face can cause headaches. Try to massage your face regularly

Nothing is as important as your health

You are a whole person on your own, you don't need someone else to be there to deserve love and attention. Your life can be full as long as you are present

You should cry things out whenever you feel like it

Slow walks are still movement and they do count

It's never as bad as you imagine it

Try changing your toothpaste flavor if you hate brushing your teeth

Anything can be a stim toy - one of my favourites is a heavy dragon necklace that has a complicated surfice. It's fun to touch and hold and it's not even "actual" stim toy

Procrastinating and feeling bad about it is true waste of time. Learn to truly rest. It takes the same amount of time but it is useful

Sometimes you have to force yourself to do the things that make you feel better

Don't trust the thoughts you have after not sleeping for a while

Friendships don't have to be forever to mean something

do you have accounts that talks about study x mental health or something like that? because of my diagnosis I'm way behind on college and feel very lonely here

i wish i knew someone who've been through this and can give some tips.....

Hey love. I am so sorry it took me a while to answer. I wanted to not only get some words for you but also find a few solid blogs for you to check out (hopefully they don't mind being tagged).

I've been there. I fell so behind in school I'm graduating over a year late and after getting a couple of diagnosis I fell into a major depression and felt kind out outcasted in a sense. It's not easy at all. It took me a while to get on track and on top of things and I still fall behind. I have dishes in my sink, unfolded clothes in a pile, I called out of work this morning, breakfast was fast food, my car is a mess, and I haven't begun studying for my final in two days. But I now know that in a couple of days I'll be ok. Over time I learned my patterns and triggers and show myself compassion instead of beat myself up over falling behind. Since I started doing that, I've gotten much better. I allow myself bad days with no guilt or punishment. I focus on recovery instead. I'm always here to talk and rant if you need it. It's hard and the pressure to achieve and thrive is so immense it tears you down. But I'm here to help and talk.

Hi! I just want you to know that I love how you treat and talk about bugs! I used to be afraid of most of them but I've been actively trying to learn to love them as much as I love everything else in nature (I even took entomology class to expose myself to our bug friends as much as I can). And your blog really helps too! I hope you have a lovely day and make lots of bug friends.

I'm so glad to hear you're overcoming your fear! Life is definitely more fun when you're fascinated rather than afraid. And thank you! I have met several bugs today :)

hello friends of Tumblr, I am kindly asking you to follow and interact with my book&film blog @jevoisrouge

unfortunately, my school did not support students creating clubs, and i don't have the financial means to attend workshops to include on my extracurriculars,

so i decided to create this blog and include it instead

PS i also have a youtube channel and an Instagram account and it would mean the world to me if you supported me on there too <3

my opinion on the 100 as an indigenous person:

horrible. octavia and clarke and skairkru (mainly the white members) are literal colonizers. they came, and inserted themselves into a society already created, and their issues. skaikru then stole the flame (stolen scared religious symbol. sound familiar?) from the grounders and all of a sudden clarke (who has been on the ground for not even a full year) is wanheda. literally a retelling of history. do not recommend.

on a lighter note, there's attractive characters so that's a plus

i agree, it's just horrible. and yet somehow it's the black man and brown man that are the villains, not the white people 🙄

already school stressin’ but taking a quick break from studying to write some poetry and relax definitely helped me refocus

Learn to like bugs

Tips by someone who went from a bug hater to an entomology enthusiast

Learn more about arthropods - Being afraid of the unknown is a natural defence mechanism. This is luckily easily beat by learning! Insects, spiders and other tiny friends are very different from us and it makes our mammal brains struggle a little to understand. But that makes them more fascinating! Little creatures are so valuable and smart and social and you can learn all about it

Name and talk to the insects/spiders that you meet - You might feel ridiculous at first but this one really helps. It shifts the idea from "scary creature" to "just a little guy"

Hang out with people who love bugs - Passion and joy is infectious and nothing made me appreciate bugs as much as hanging out with entomologists

Visit exhibitions and join entomology walks - The whole vibe of these experiences makes bugs into something exciting (which they are!)

Be aware of how much space you take - You are a large mammal and you take up a lot of space both physically and with the way you live. Now it's okay to occupy space! You deserve to live and move freely and take up a piece of the world! But also realise that you take up space you don't use. The corners under the ceiling, sheds and storage spaces. Sometimes it's okay to leave this space to other, smaller roommates.

Exposure therapy - Let an insect walk on your hand. You'll find out it's fine. Start with something that doesn't scare you much and you can work your way up to scarier things. (Make sure it's safe to do so based on species and where you're from) For me the most difficult so far was a palm sized stag-beetle larva and it was fine! I didn't enjoy it but it felt really good to beat that fear

Many spiders pay rent - Spiders are a great pest control! I do recommend to check whether the spider isn't venomous but otherwise it's great to keep them around

Dangerous animals deserve to live - You should be careful and deal with these dangerous roommate appropriately. Sometimes this will mean you have to kill them but NEVER be cruel about it. You wouldn't hate a person for carrying pepper spray in dangerous areas, don't hate little friends for having defence systems

I know things like this can be difficult and you might not feel the need to even try but I promise it's worth it. It's just another part of our world to fall in love with. Just because you are big doesn't mean the small are unimportant.
