hey there lovelies! I’m sorry I haven’t been very active on here; life has been…lifeing, haha. Just wanted to let you all know I’ve made several updates to this (primarily to the ap and focus sites/playlists section) 🫶

Resources 🌼

(Updated regularly)

🪷 Emergency resource: oh no I’m having a bad thought

🌻 Apps and Games

Finch: mental health app where you care for a little bird! Offers many features such as focus timers, rant zones, nature sounds, fun questions, and more! You can even make friends on it and send them encouragement :) (my friend code)

Adorable Home: a precious game in which you have a tiny spouse, cats, and a little house you can decorate! You can check in and enjoy peaceful music, different scenes, and upgrades through collecting tiny hearts you earn through easy tasks! A truly adorable and relaxing game!

Seashine: a game set underwater in which you guide a tiny luminescent jellyfish through the abyss. Beautiful, relaxing music and distant whale noises; some scary enemies, so if you have thalassophobia this might not be the one for you. Very calming otherwise though, and the creator is coming out with an enemy-free version soon in which you can just float around to the music!

Cat Snack Bar: an adorable app where you operate different business venues with the help of chubby, adorable cats! You check in periodically to collect money and update your venue, but otherwise it doesn't require much brain power. A very cute game to help you relax!

Webtoon: a comic app that allows you to browse thousands of creative and often relaxing webcomics!

1010!: a fun little game where you match up blocks. Fairly simple and satisfying, and you can update your backgrounds to fun designs!

Papa's Cupcakeria: a relaxing and satisfying game where you make cupcakes! And of course there’s a whole series of games in the Papa Louie universe to choose from that are fun and calming :)

Libby: library app that lets you sign in with however many library cards you possess and place holds on/check out books or audiobooks that you can then read in the app; the books are automatically returned for you on their due date, so you never have to worry about them being

Kinder World: app where you raise plants, track emotions, and can send and receive encouraging notes to/from strangers!

🪸 Fun Websites

Neal.fun: features many creative pages you can visit such as— a stack of movable rocks, a page that shows how deep the ocean really goes, who was alive [insert year], draw logos from memory, and more!

mrdoob.com: a wacky website with lots of fun features you can draw and mess around with

boredbutton: for when you're bored out of your mind and want a pointless website to mess with!

theuselessweb.com: takes you to a completely useless website, such as a page where it rains corndogs or a page where you can create different forms of art.

ashortjourney.com: lets you take a small and beautifully drawn trip on a trolley and pick up/drop off tiny creatures!

Forestopia: allows you to explore images of forests and the things inside, with background forest noises!

boredpanda.com: full of memes, funny stories, and more!

listverse: contains many lists, some horrifying (so be warned for those) and some just fascinating!

Do not let them consume you. They don’t define who you are.

You have been battling these issues for so long, give yourself some credit for how much you overcame. For how much you fight. For how much you try. For the time you take to care for your health.

a lot of times a post will be like "youre not bad for having violent intrusive thoughts" and then someone in the notes will inevitably be like "yeah its only bad if you act on them" and like bro i cannot tell you how fucking unhelpful and misguided that statement is in this context.

like, yes, having negative impulses that you dont act on doenst make you a bad person, but intrusive thoughts are not impulses. the whole thing with violent intrusive thoughts (and intrusive thoughts in general) in OCD is that the person experiencing them very much Does Not Want to act on them, yet is terrified they'll "lose control" and act on them regardless of how much they don't want to.

treating these thoughts as if theyre actually something a person could potentially "give in to" and act out is fundamentally misunderstanding what intrusive thoughts are, and also plays into the very fear that a lot of people's thoughts are based on.

I love you so much

just a gentle reminder, even if you're feeling good right now it doesn't mean you're not struggling. being happy does not automatically mean things aren't hard, don't let anyone tell you otherwise <33333
