It’s “normal” as in “many people experience pain, loneliness, anxiety, self-hatred, and other symptoms of mental illness that feel like they ‘don’t count’ because there’s no real Thing they can point to to explain it, but their pain and suffering are real and ought to be taken seriously.”

by me, a fool who doesnt wanna die anymore 

never make a suicide joke again. yes this includes “i wanna die” as a figure of speech. swear off of it. actually make an effort to change how you think about things.

find something to compliment someone for at least 4 times a day. notice the little things about the world that make you happy, and use that to make other people happy.

talk to people. initiate conversation as often as you possibly can. keep your mind busy and you wont have to worry anymore

picture the bad intrusive thoughts in youe head as an edgy 13 year old and tell them to go be emo somewhere else

Like every time I trip and fall, instead of saying “l’m just a disaster human” I say “I’m the epitome of grace and beauty”

Or like, when I draw a picture I’m not 100% happy with, instead of saying “my art is trash” I say something like “you know I think it’s time we replaced the Mona Lisa”

When you do that you get to make a joke, but you’re ALSO getting practice building yourself up, y’know?

perhaps it’s a bit too warm for coffee potions, or hot chocolate magic, or even tea spells, but you still want to work a little magic into your day. infused waters! here’s just a couple of suggestions with fruit and even herbs, and their correspondences.

for all recipes, chop, cube, or slice all fresh ingredients. let them sit in a bottle of cool water for a few hours. the longer it waits, the more flavor infuses. afterwards, you can eat the fruit or infuse it again!

A glamor spell to fill the gaps in my life created by seeing no Madoka Magica spells, and also for never being as cute as Madoka Kaname.

This spell gives you a “soul gem”, an item that will make you feel glamorous and special every time you keep it on your person. In other words, you get to experience your own “magical girl transformation”, although anyone of any gender can use this spell.

You will need:

An item you often keep on your person–jewelry, keys, even a shoelace

A stone of your favorite color (if you’re having trouble choosing, I recommend choosing a warm or metallic color, like red or gold)

A clothing, bag or piece of cloth of the same color

Your phone or a flashlight

Dried rose petals

(optional) Glamor Salt

Your favorite outfit

Directions:

1.   Put on your favorite outfit. It can be anything–a suit, a bathing suit, a cosplay, pajamas, your favorite underwear (it does not have to be the same color as your cloth or stone). It doesn’t matter so much what it is as it does how you feel while wearing the outfit. Changing into the outfit puts you into a confident, self-loving mindset, and gives you ideas of how you want to appear to others.

2.   Take your item of choice and either put it in the glamor salt. If you do not have the glamor salt on you, OR if your item will get damaged by sitting in the salt, place it in a pile of rose petals instead.

3.   Scatter a ring of rose petals around the item.

4.   Place your stone nearby the item (NOT in the salt, as salt damages certain stones). The setup should look something like this:

5.   While your item is charging, think of a word that summarizes how you want others to perceive you. It could be “androgynous”, “badass”, “cute”, “masculine”, “confident”–whatever makes you feel best about yourself. Got it? Keep it in your head, and imagine someone looking at you and immediately thinking that word. Embrace how confident that makes you feel.

6.   Turn on your flashlight or the flashlight app on your phone, and place it inside the bag/cloth. Turn out the lights. You should see a lamp-like glow of your favorite color lighting the space.

7.   Take your item out of the roses/salt, and place it on the glowing cloth. Hold your hands over it and think, “I am _______!” (whatever your chosen word is). Repeat it to yourself. Remember how you felt when you imagined someone perceiving you that way? Feel that, and allow it to flow through your arms and into your chosen item. The glow of the cloth will help you. Try to dump all of your confident, self-loving feelings into the item.

8.   When you feel you have adequately charging the item, turn on the lights and wash the item off. You’re done! You’ve created your very own soul gem. If you ever feel the need to recharge it, you can shine a light beneath the cloth again, and let the item sit for a while to charge.

Here’s a few ideas if you’re stuck on what you want to do!
