A lot of people are noticing that I’m getting ‘better,’ more social.
One of them asked me a life hack to depression. I’m sorry, there isn’t a hack to deal with it. I worked hard for it. I’m not healed like medication is some miricle worker, I worked hard for where I am at in my mental health progress.
But then I ask, didn’t I really just get better, to kill myself?
Well, anyway here’s a few tips of how to cope with depression and anxiety, not get cured.
But keep in mind, we have different bodies and minds. So what might work for me won’t for you.
Ya catch my drift?
• first of all, it isn’t going to take ten minutes or an hour, it’s not going to take days or weeks. It’s going to take weeks. by the end of my six years, I think was recovered enough that I think I have good coping mechanisms and you ask yourself a lot of times, am I going to keep recovering as I move forward on this road? Is there an end. Yes, the end is where you come to that point where you feel comfortable enough to flourish in your coping mechanism in every day life.
• I am still not healed. but I started seeing a therapist And asked her about my official diagnosis
• The truth is really simple; if you’re just trying to survive your depression and anxiety, you’re not ever going to have enough executive function to do anything excellently. You cannot. you are human, and if you’re fighting a mental illness, it takes a ton of energy. so Take a Little well deserved break away from the people in your every day life. You deserve it!
• Truth is, there is such a thing as being lazy.
But are you scared it is something likes“executive dysfunction” instead? Well let’s quickly look what lazy is not!
It does not make you feel horrible about being lazy
iIt might make you feel guilty, but it doesn’t make you feel horrible.
While:
Dysfunction feels like there are witches on brooms in your gut and your whole body is dunked in a bath filled with acid. It makes your brain seem full of cotton candy. it feels physically uncomfortable, and you just substitute the things you’re suppose to do with things you’re not suppose to be doing or hate doing, and it makes you feels trapped.
Like you shouldn’t be distracted, but here you are. That is executive dysfunction.
•. Start with seeing a therapist.
It’s alright to talk to your friends, but your friends should be friends not therapists. Make an appointment and take it seriously. REMEMBER because your previous therapist/s “did not work” DOES NOT MEAN none will. - I started therapy by saying *** “I am tired of this and at this point will do anything to end it” ***
• **** DO NOT TRUST THE INTERNET****
Googling symptoms won’t help you in the road of recovery, you might find that you have one or two symptoms, but you don’t have a psychology degree or a psyiatric degree. Nor does google. I am not saying “don’t self-diagnose” i’m saying, do your research, see someone who knows about these things, research and identifying the problem is also part of getting help - your conditions might be more complicated than you realize, but you’re also too close to the problem at hand. If you see a doctor, keep track of what helps and what doesn’t help.
See google as something that points out that you really need help, it might not be an accurate diagnosis. Maybe use something like google scholar instead?
• start to try anything and everything.
Art
Reading
Writing
Poetry
Exercise
Yoga
Petting zoo
Kale shakes
Buddhism
Meditation
*** Sublimation is the most effective coping mechanism***
————Sublimation is the act of taking a negative emotion or situation and creating something from it. .You can be the worst artist, have the worst grammar, but I’m sure I could link you to a few discord servers to join into the making of someone great. Stop focusing on getting it perfect and neat and in order.
Focus on letting that pent up negative energy out.
• starting is always the hardest part.. cut out the sorce of your anxiety and depression. Do something! Cut out the excuses and the novelties and of the plants at your front door make you anxious, CUT THEM OUT.
This is your life. You have control, not your anxiety or depression. This is your pony. This is your life. Cut out the people and the family. Move away
STOP
MAKING
EXCISES
To be really honest; if you really want to get better you’ll make the move, reading this blog was your first move. Take the advice, it’s free.
If you’re free Wellington suicidal then this is a sign that you want to be helped, want to get help.
I’ll always be around, if anyone wants to talk!
Love
🖤
