one of the best pieces of advice I've ever heard (for myself, at least) is that if you're in a terrible mood and NOTHING is helping, then start doing the chores/responsibilities/job stuff/etc that you've been putting off. Will it put you in an even worse mood temporarily? Probably, but you're already pissed off, so you might as well double up on it at that point 😭 there's no loss. It's not like finally getting around to cleaning the house and scheduling appointments is going to ruin the good day that you aren't currently having to begin with 💀 And then, when the bad mood passes, you'll have gotten shit done and you'll feel a lot better later, even if in the moment you're having The Worst Time Ever about it.

I know you're scared. I'm sorry this is happening to you, but you've come through so much already, I know you can do this too. Here, take my hand, I'll go with you 🫴

You have your entire life to grow. Why are you disappointed that you aren't what you want when that is the entire purpose? You grow in your life to the person you want to be. If you were the person you want to be when your older what growth would you still need to undergo? Stop acting like you have to be that person now, you will grow into them. With care, patience and love for yourself you will become them, but if you rush yourself ahead it's probably only going to be harder.

In bad moments I simply open pinterest and scroll through my fyp and save things that I like seeing. Because sometimes those small things are enough to start a bigger chain of good things. You need to rewire your brain to see good, to accept good things, to make small good things your basic. Then good starts becoming a more basic thing in your everyday.
