a few tips i have found helpful (feel free to add) —

keep in mind that healing isn’t linear

write down accomplishments every day even if they’re small such as “i ate dinner today”, “i washed my face”, etc.

seek out a good therapist/psychiatrist that you click with even if it takes a few tries

reach out to loved ones when you need help

practice forgiving yourself often

make a point of doing little acts kindness for both yourself and others

work on positive self talk

[ID: A page of a play. It reads as follows, "Theseus: Stop. Give me your hand. I am your friend. / Herakles: I fear to stain your clothes with blood. / Theseus: Stain them, I don't care." End text.]

Translation:

"And if they made me choose, I'd choose to love you once more."

"و في قلبي مدينة كُل سُكانها أنتي."

Translation:

"And there is a city in my heart where you are its only population."

"فالهروب من الموت... هو موت آخر"

''running away from death, is another form of death''

and don't even get me started on Ophelia. looking at her first relationship through rose-tinted glasses, internalising that kind of misogyny in her formative years? being so much more vulnerable to what she is subjected to by her father (depending on how you play them) and by Hamlet?
