heyy!! do you have any advice for ppl with depression and severe anxiety thank you for making this blog <33

hi! here’s some advice for depression/anxiety that helped me:

- learn how to have neutral or carefree/optimistic inner voice that challenges the more negative, hopeless one. your inner monologue underpins your whole life, so it’s really important for it to be kind and encouraging, instead of having one hopeless, self-defeating voice all the time. imagine what you would say to your friend, and try to say it for yourself. it’s ok if you don’t believe it at first, but it’s good to just practice.

- feel and validate all your feelings, without attaching beliefs to them. you can allow yourself feel a certain way, like you’re very unlovable and unworthy, but still know they’re a passing feeling, rather than a true fact. and on the worst days, know that it’s okay to feel this way, and let yourself feel everything and cry, but remember that the beliefs attached to those feelings (eg. I’m so horrible, I’m so unlovable, I’m not worth it, people are better off without me) aren’t true.

- pay close attention to your feelings, through noticing your body tense up, or feeling your throat is tight, and then consciously give yourself time to ground yourself, think of your go-to good things/memories, breathe deeply and release your tension through activities that you know would help you feel better.

- create your own self care routine for whenever you spiral, feel depressed, unmotivated, or feel anxious, and look at it often. 

- keep a list of positive reminders that help you, good things to stay alive for, or things that make you smile every day, and your favourite songs and memories. just reminders to look at that make you feel calm and less bad.

- i think often, your actions have to start before your thoughts can follow. so do things that you would do if you cared deeply about yourself. for example, work on eating and sleeping like you cared more about your body. do things that oppose what depression and anxiety want you to do, and the thoughts will follow.

- focus on the present. each day, write a few small goals to complete. it’s important to feel a sense of achievement, as it gives you confidence in yourself.

- remember that inside you there is an inner child that needs you to listen to them, ask them what they need, and comfort them with calming reassurance and activities. and you need to keep in touch with your inner child very often (whenever you feel bad), close your eyes, see them in your mind’s eye and ask them what’s wrong and allow yourself to feel everything without judgement, while also giving the child forgiveness, comfort and reminders. stay with them until they feel better, and imagine giving them a hug, telling them it’s ok. it sounds strange but this is one of the most important things that helped me. 

- do less things that drain you, like social media or staying up too late. do more things that increase your physical capacity to feel good, like doing exercise, being outside, dancing, singing, going on a walk, surround yourself with calming scents, drinking tea, hug something, doing a guided meditation, listening to music, having a better posture, sleeping enough and at the same time each day, eating enough, being in nature, playing with a pet.

- do hobbies that make you forget about your phone. promise yourself that you’ll try to do it daily for a short achievable time, like 15 or 20 minutes and try to commit to it for a long time. start something from the beginning, and as you improve, so will your confidence that you can learn anything. I recommend learning something musical, because it really helped me. it’s also important to have zero expectations. be proud of improvement, but you shouldn’t expect improvement. your main goal should be to have fun.

- make peace with your past. find your own closure. forgive yourself. look through old photos of yourself and learn to love your younger self and be thankful for them.

- do forms of play. like stuff that makes you excited as if you’re a child again. maybe it’s swimming, riding a bike, skateboarding, dancing, or something creative.

- do loving-kindness meditation. imagine everyone that’s on your mind lately, including yourself, and wish them safety, happiness and warmth every morning and night, and imagine the love radiating from your heart to them (it sounds strange but it helps me!)

- don’t be afraid to ask for help. you don’t have to go through this alone! and you’re worth the ‘burden’ of getting help!

- notice and appreciate the little things in your life. take more photographs of pretty things you notice that aren’t that exciting to others. find beauty in the everyday things. romanticize the mundane things in your life.

- positive visualization!! imagine that inside you, you’re not barren. imagine you’re a field of flowers or a forest, always growing. imagine your dream home, your dream goals and places you’d love to visit one day. imagine what it would like to be recovered, and let this motivate you.

- don’t be hard on yourself. if you feel like your heart is aching, let yourself feel the pain, and place your warm hands on your chest. and tell yourself it will be okay. comfort yourself how you would comfort someone who is crying and blaming everything on themselves.

- don’t think you’re a failure because you haven’t recovered yet! recovering from depression and anxiety takes a long time, because you’re practically relearning everything you know. be patient with yourself, keep going, and accept bad days are natural and aren’t telling of your overall progress. and be proud of yourself for living with anxiety/depression every day and trying to recover from it.

- have a morning routine that makes you calmer. it helped my anxiety a lot to eat breakfast while reading a book. because jumping straight into being productive after waking up made me wired and stressed. and have a night routine too to unwind, like journalling, reading, listening to a playlist that calms you down, or other activities that makes you feel safe before you sleep.

this is a bit long but i hope this helps 🌷✨

mags flanagan was the victor of the 11th hunger games. she is probably one of the last people we know of canonically in the games who directly, vividly, remembers lucy gray baird.

she remembers the girl from district 12, who dropped a snake down someone's dress, who sang a song the day of her reaping as a fuck you to the capitol. the girl who charmed an entire country and won the games using sheer ingenuity.

she probably remembers reports of the capitol boy who served as her mentor, remembers the blond boy who broke the rules and stayed in that zoo enclosure with her. probably remembers the reports of him doing everything he can to save this girl. coriolanus snow. she remembers that name, tucks it away, connecting it with decency and integrity.

she probably, as a young girl, thought that maybe there was some good left in this world. if a capitol boy would put his neck and life on the line for a lowly girl from district 12, who would defy every social rule for her, then maybe there was some hope.

she probably remembers the rumours that floated around after those games, remembers how they said that blond boy ran away to be with her. remembers how no one heard from or about lucy gray baird ever again, and then next year she goes on to compete and win the games.

and then when the victors are made to be mentors, she looks for that girl, lucy gray baird, wonders if she could ask her questions about her games, about her life now, about coriolanus snow, the blond boy who changed the games themselves for her. but she is nowhere to be found. lucy gray baird is now a legend, passed down in hushed tones amongst the ones who still remember her. the girl who charmed an entire arena of snakes, the girl with the guitar, the girl who said nothing they could take from her was worth keeping.

and then she returns year after year, and a decade or so passes until she hears a familiar name. a name she expected died away in district 12 in obscurity, because there is no way the capitol would let his impunity pass unpunished, would they?

but here he is, president coriolanus snow.

she wonders how he's still here, and how he betrayed her memory, betrayed what lucy gray baird stood for, what he once stood for. but there he stands, impassive, cursorily shaking her hand before she stops herself from asking about the girl with the rainbow skirt.

then comes another victor from district 12, and she turns the games on their head, much like her predecessor. mags watches her, wonders if president coriolanus snow is thinking the same thing she is. when the quarter quell rolls around and finnick tells her about the burgeoning spark of a rebellion and how the girl on fire might be the one who fully set it ablaze, she agrees wholeheartedly to return to that arena.

she thinks about telling him about lucy gray baird and her story, but doesn't think he would believe her if she did. when she sees snow again, knowing certain death lies ahead, she finally asks him the question that's rested on her lips for half a century.

she asks him about the girl in the rainbow skirt.

"I zauvijek sam ostao gladan ljubavi i pažnje: niko me u životu nije mogao iznenaditi grubošću, uvijek sam je očekivao, a svako me mogao pridobiti pa i prevariti pitomošću, nježnošću, prijateljstvom; pa i kad bih se prevario, opet sam uvijek bio spreman da naletim na isti mamac."

Ko ne razumije tvoje tišine, riječi neće nikada.

Tišine, e tišine ne možeš poklanjati svima. U tišine stanu neku pogledi, neki uzdasi, neki otkucaji, tišine ne lažu.

Eight Rules For Writing -- from a long ago piece I wrote for The Guardian.

1 Write.

2 Put one word after another. Find the right word, put it down.

3 Finish what you're writing. Whatever you have to do to finish it, finish it.

4 Put it aside. Read it pretending you've never read it before. Show it to friends whose opinion you respect and who like the kind of thing that this is.

5 Remember: when people tell you something's wrong or doesn't work for them, they are almost always right. When they tell you exactly what they think is wrong and how to fix it, they are almost always wrong.

6 Fix it. Remember that, sooner or later, before it ever reaches perfection, you will have to let it go and move on and start to write the next thing. Perfection is like chasing the horizon. Keep moving.

7 Laugh at your own jokes.

8 The main rule of writing is that if you do it with enough assurance and confidence, you're allowed to do whatever you like. (That may be a rule for life as well as for writing. But it's definitely true for writing.) So write your story as it needs to be written. Write it honestly, and tell it as best you can. I'm not sure that there are any other rules. Not ones that matter.

“There are too many books I haven’t read, too many places I haven’t seen, too many memories I haven’t kept long enough.”

“If anyone ever stop loving you, know that she never really loved. Love doesn’t end, may have ups and downs, but if it’s love, nothing or no one will destroy.”

— Vítor Hugo Mota
