you're gonna be okay.

If you did not eat well today, at least you put something into your body. If you spent the entire day on your phone, at least you did not isolate yourself completely. If you only talked to one person today, at least you socialised a little. If you did not have the energy to get out of bed, at least you woke up, at least you breathed and made it through the day. You can be so very proud of yourself, my love. Stop hating yourself for not succeeding. And start giving yourself credit for trying. For trying so hard. Every single day. You are amazing.

I can feel that 2020 is going to change my life for the better and that i’m going to be in a new direction. I can’t even describe it, I just have a gut feeling that i’m going to meet people and be in the right place at the right time for the circumstances that are divinely timed just for me. overwhelmed with good thoughts and hopes for what is to come 

reblog for good vibes in 2020

hi this is just a little reminder that you can change yourself and your life any second you choose. you could shave your head right now. you could start learning a new language right this second. you could cut a toxic person out of your life whenever you choose. if you feel like you failed at something you can start over literally this exact second. you don‘t have to wait until next week, or monday, or even until tomorrow. it‘s your choice and you can choose NOW.

🌹 a flower for everyone not feeling their best today

Sounds fake but ok

good news: it’s not fake. everything i said is true. being dismissive towards good things is a damaging mindset to have. you’ll feel a lot better if you have some trust and if you’re willing to consider optimistic viewpoints.

Is this what non depressed people feel like ? Damn. You’re so lucky

i’m extremely mentally ill and extremely depressed at that. deflecting good advice that encourages you to think positively about life by claiming that the person who said it is not depressed (when i very much am) is also a very damaging mindset to have.

OP is the opposite of the “Then Perish” meme. All of OP’s replies read as “Then Prosper”.

Hey all y'all, it turns out that saying positive things and encouraging others with them even when you don’t quite believe them yourself is an excellent coping strategy for clinical depression. I know it’s hard to understand when you’re in the pit, and if I’m honest it’s still hard for me to grok, but the more you say positive things, the more they start being true. If that means lying to yourself, lie! Your brain chemistry is already lying to you about bad things, you may as well lie right back about good ones.

THEN PROSPER

Casual reminder that depression and PTSD *literally actually* warp your perception of reality.

It's going to be okay. Whatever you thought of while reading this, it's going to be okay.

This is your sign that you’re going to be okay. You’re going to survive this. You’re going to find happiness soon.

destroy the idea that intermediate goals aren’t important. maybe you can’t play the entire piano piece yet, but you can play the right hand and that’s good. maybe you haven’t figured out your major yet, but your minor or your field and that’s progress. maybe you can’t hold a full conversation in your target language yet, but you can ask for directions and that’s fine. setting high goals is good, but don’t diminish the small goals you achieve on your way there. they are just as important.

hearing the john mulaney “do my friends hate me or do i just need to go to sleep” bit is the best thing to have happened for my mental health because every time i’m afraid my friends hate me it’s around the time i should be going the fuck to sleep

I read somewhere “if you feel like everyone hates you you need to sleep and if you feel like you hate everyone else you need to eat” and it was honestly world-shattering and I wish I’d heard it years ago!

This is the best post I have ever seen
