“i can’t do simple hygiene bc im depressed” that’s easy babe! just do simple hygiene

I don’t know what any of you people think professional help looks like, but when you walk in and say “i’m too depressed to do anything” they don’t just nod and say “well you’re broken forever i guess”. they don’t say “here take this pill and it’ll fix everything”. they work with you one step at a time and explain to you that you CAN in fact do simple things even though you’re depressed. it isn’t easy, but it’s not impossible, it just happens in small steps, but it isn’t getting any easier when you react to every instance of someone trying to help by refusing to listen.

The advice he gives is seriously so solid. A lot of times it’s hard to motivate yourself to do something because it seems too daunting to commit to a full routine, so doing one simple thing can help you get motivated for the next simple thing and so on and so forth. Other posters are right, therapists, at least the ones worth anything, don’t just throw pills at you and tell you you’re never going to improve oh well, they give you simple manageable tips to improve your situation.

PRAISE THE LORD

People who give simple advice like this tend to have been there. No, the small bits of advice or action don’t cure the depression/anxiety magically. But it helps. And it helps. And a lot of the time it’s the first thing folks think of when giving advice to people who are where they’ve been. The advice I tend to give is drink water and go easy on yourself, because nothing feels worse than being hard on yourself while dehydrated.

this is the modern substitute for coliseum fights and it quenches my bloodlust just as effectively

this is actually super fucking smartass of them

Reblogging as this is so important everyone! My mum had breast cancer and that shit is not nice so please check yourself ladies and gents! 💕💕💕

this also gives them the perfect chance to bring up the risk of breast cancer in men!

Her name is Joely Proudfit, a descendant of the Pechanga Band of Luiseno Indians. 

As a reminder, talking about native people like they are dead and gone is just as damaging and reductionist as those caricatures. Joely Proudfit is not a descendant of the Pechanga. She is Pechanga, because the Pechanga are still here. Native America is not a thing of the past. If you’re saying it like this, you’re either doing it because you unconsciously think of it that way, because you are dramatizing and romanticizing native people and their struggles, or both. Neither are good, and you should examine your words.
