I feel like depression had actually made me stronger and more empathetic. I never had therapy or medication, didn't talk about it to anyone, but suffered from it for years. And now I'm finally starting to win.
There is hope, after all. There is light.
But what I didn't realise before, is that it was hidden inside.

I'm going to start leaving self-care tips and reminders whenever I time travel. So here's the first one: brush your teeth when you get up. I know it's hard, but you'll feel a little better knowing that you've maintained personal hygiene. Trust me. You don't have to do it 3 times a day since I know it can be hard to find the motivation, so just once is fine for now. Okay, bye, and remember that I love you even if I don't know you 🥰

For a couple years I haven't been in the greatest mental state

But over this time I went through so many negative things, each time I learned more and more how to deal with it

And that helped me understand people's feelings a lot more, and how to help

Often people might be upset about something and write a vent, and 9 times out of 10 I always know what to say

Friends started calling me therapist of the group xd

My brain just excercised a lot during these years lol

I feel like brutally beaten inside, by my inner demons, I feel like I can’t stand up, but I don’t have a choice. I will stand up and fight, until my last breath, for those who love me and for those whom I love

I really needed this; Lately my father has been ruining my Mental health
My friends on discord are the only people I trust, I don't even trust my own relatives because I know they wouldn't believe me.
My mother left us for some man; My father never really moved on; Probably a reason why he has been ruining my mental health.

*Thank you; So much.*

Lately I've been so much happier than ever... These are the words I tell myself to avoid negative stuffs around me:

"I am like this, let them learn to love the real me"
"I am not perfect, that's what makes me unique"
"It's fine, I'm just a human"
"It'll get better I promise"
"I love the vulnerable and imperfect side of me"
"I know I'll find a way to solve this soon"
"It's ok to be selfish and care for myself"

There ya go :)

Letting go of things that I can't control is the

My personal tip: Don't try to make things to change instantly. If you try to hammer a nail with just a single hit, you are likely to bend the nail and achieve nothing. You have to do it hit by hit, starting slowly and driving a nail into a wall. The same works for everything you do, including health. You can't just do everything once and expect results, do things one by one, start slowly, pick up speed only if you are 100% sure you are capable of doing so.

There was a time when I kept thinking “I must do this, and that, and the other..” and kept making todo lists, but with all my will I couldn’t get myself to do even very simple chores, it was a real torment. At some point, I hit on the idea of making a “success list”, i.e. writing down the things I had actually managed to do - afterwards. This really “put a tiger in my motor”! I found myself actually tackling the hardest things first! It made me feel proud of myself, even if I’d simply remembered to take out the trash, because I was judging myself by my own needs and capacities, not by the assumptions of other people. Although I wasn’t able to make this a consistent habit, every time I did so gave me a powerful feeling of success. The memory of such moments reminded me that there was hope, and very gradually (with therapy) things did get better.
