Every step matters

Every. Single. Step. It’s okay if you take 3 steps forward and 2 steps back. Healing is not linear. In a way, it’s like a spiral, bringing you through the ups and downs, but it gets a little better every time. It’s okay if the only thing you can do today is drink a glass of water. At least you drank that glass. Maybe tomorrow you’ll be able to do it again, or maybe even take a shower. You’d be surprised how those little steps add up. Show yourself real love. I know it’s hard to even breathe, but every choice you do or don’t make, makes a difference, however small.

i enjoy video games because they let me live out my wildest fantasies, like being assigned a task and then completing that task

Can someone explain to me how "manic pixie dream girl" isn't offensive to people with bipolar disorder. Because I get very offended every time. Mania isn't a personality trait, and it shouldn't be romanticized, especially not by people WHO ARE NOT EVEN BIPOLAR

Try stuff. Put plants in your room even if you aren’t the best at caring for them. Attempt that dessert recipe even if it turns out ugly. Listen to that music you’ve been meaning to try for a while. The world is full of infinite sources of goodness and the best thing to do it to try and find as many as possible.

gentle reminder

hey, can you stop for a second, please?

inhale for me

now, exhale

take a moment to reorient yourself - have you had something to drink? have you had food? have you taken your medications, if you need to? maybe it is time to have a shower and change your clothes, too

this is your reminder to breathe and take care of yourself, please. you got this.

How to Tell You're Manic when You're already Manic

The Start: Your head feels like it's full of bees. You're more irritable and you don't know why. Everything feels kind of fuzzy but you don't know if its lack of sleep or environmental. Your sexuality is yoyo-ing around dangerously. Everything feels magical or hostile but there's one thing for sure: I'm definitely not manic because if I was manic, I would know.

How do you know when you're manic when you're already there? It's Spring Mania Season and I've already seen some concerning stuff from my timeline across different social media sites, so here's some clues of how to realize you're messed up when you're already immersed in the sauce.

1. Sudden personality changes- This should sound alarm bells! You may feel like your personality shift has been a long time coming and it's natural but think: How long have you actually felt like this? A week? You're manic bb.

2. New or increased coping mechanisms- You just randomly decided to start drinking a lot when you were previously sober? You are spending all your money to outrun your sadness? Suddenly your coping mechanisms are drastically different? Manic!

3. Concerned friends and family- Everyone around you is concerned and some are even citing DSM criteria but you insist you're fine? Yeah I'm sure everyone in the world is wrong and you're the only one seeing things clearly. Your psychiatrist called you out and you're avoiding professional help? Manic!

4. New religious/spiritual beliefs- I mean this is so obvious I hesitate to list it but it is so common. All of a sudden all the world's mysteries are beautiful and you are "channeling" the energy of the universe? Your brain feels like jello but the euphoria is intoxicating? You. Are Manic.

5. Sudden lifestyle changes- This abbreviates the above but includes others. You used to love meat but suddenly you're obsessed with becoming a vegan because you delusionally believe that the souls of the dead animals you've eaten are visiting you in your dreams to punish you? Manic.

6. Distorted thought patterns, general fuzziness- I started the post with this but do you even remember the start of the post or are you having new issues grasping sentences? Can you remember what you did yesterday? Can you remember where you were this time last week or does that seem like a comically long time ago?

7. Changes in spending or daily habits- This is a big indicator that comes on slowly. Are you sleeping? Are you eating?

So what do you do if you're manic and freaking out? First, calm down. Call a friend or family member and ask for help. Do not do anything drastic. Just find someone who can concentrate long enough to look up what to do, whether it be sleeping it off, arranging an appointment, or calling a hospital. Good luck.

If you've ever overslept, like dead-to-the-world, slept-straight-through-your-alarm, overslept, that is your body choosing to rest for you.

no one is too busy, you’re just not a priority

butchboy

this is not true. hate bullshit like this, other humans are not here soley for your entertainment/companionship, loved ones wont always be there when you need them most, doesnt mean they love you any less. they have their own lives & feelings & every action of theirs is not a slight towards you or, g-d forbid, a judgement of ur worth. I get everyone has insecurities and mental tribulations but this type of thinking is just self-sabotaging ur self-worth & relationships.

randomslasher

I cannot tell you how many times I’ve had to just table a very emotionally volatile situation with a loved one because I simply could not delay any longer before heading to off to work. Sometimes you have to end a conversation online because you absolutely must get to bed–you have stuff to do tomorrow and you desperately need sleep. Sometimes, heaven forbid, you just need a little time for you, and you cannot devote the physical, mental, and emotional energy needed to take care of someone else.

Adulthood comes with responsibilities that cannot be ignored, no matter how romantic the “drop everything and drive all night to get to you” idea may be. My priorities must sometimes be to the things that keep me employed and healthy and sane, but do not mistake my pragmatism for disinterest in, or lack of compassion for, the people I love.

wholeheartedsuggestions

eventually you realize you don’t want to die. you just don’t want to live the life you’re living. and slowly you try to create a life you want to live. just gotta start there.

wholeheartedsuggestions

no one needs to add “sounds fake but ok”, “no”, “well, not me”, “impossible”, etc. to this post. and i’d rather you not.
