Essie's Mad, Mad World

take a walk outside. just 10 minutes can really boost your mood.

vent. write in a journal, make a voice memo, whatever. have a safe space where you can express your thoughts and feelings.

think about past challenges you've overcome. you survived those, you can survive this too.

reach out to your support system. do not isolate yourself. human beings need social connections.

you are good even when you need to rely on others’ help.

you are good even when you are depressed.

you are good even when you are hurt.

you are good even when you are scared.

you are good even when you are overwhelmed.

you are good even when you are not tidy.

you are good even when you are confused.

you are good even when you have difficulty performing tasks.

you are good even when you feel like you’ll never measure up to being an adult.
