tips to get your life back on track after a breakdown™

sleep. your body needs to rest. the average panic attack takes as much energy as running a half-marathon. let yourself rest. take a 20 minute nap. any longer and you’ll hit your REM cycle, and you’ll wake up worse off. after, you’ll feel so much better.

clean something. literally anything. a plate, a drawer, the whole mf bathroom. it doesn’t matter how much or how little. it’ll make you feel more in control, and it’ll make your surroundings more appropriate for recovery.

get some fresh air. even just opening your window for a few hours will help. if you feel up to it, take a walk. take your dog. pick some flowers. cloudgaze. even just sit in your garden for a bit. your body will thrive off of non-stale air. 

eat and drink. I know for some people, myself included, this is Hard. it’s alright if all you can manage is a granola bar, or some cereal. anything is progress and will fuel your body. drink water if you can, but anything apart from alcohol will hydrate you.

take a shower. I have clinical depression. have done since I was 12. I know how hard it is to take a shower. but it fucking helps. if you don’t do anything else off this list, do this. it’ll help more than you know.

talk to someone. I can’t stress this enough. humans are social creatures! we crave interaction. even the most introverted introvert needs to talk to someone. call your mom. text a buddy. skype your brother. chat to your local cashier. anything !! you’ll feel less alone, and hopefully get some good serotontitty flowing.

do something fun! same as above, it’ll make u feel so much bette, and provide a distraction. some good options are writing, drawing, watching a movie, dancing - anything you enjoy!

be kind to yourself. it’s okay if you relapsed, or if you had a bad day, or anything else. treat yourself gently. you wouldn’t so harsh to a friend in your situation. it’s gonna be okay.

if you can’t do all of these, it’s okay. there are better days ahead. this, too, will pass.

you can fall in love at 30. you can discover your true passion at 40. you can go back to school at 50. you can learn to draw, or paint, or sing at 60. relax. just because you didn’t do most, or any, of the things considered “young adult milestones” doesn’t mean you never will. there’s no time limit on happiness.

It's okay to not be productive every day

Just because things could've been different it doesn't mean they'd be better

~Daily note~

Be yourself. It's really important to show people real you. You shouldn't pretend to attract other people. If people aren't attracted to real you, they are not right for you. Don't waste your time, honey

Perfect chill night routine

• remove your makeup, wash your face, and take a bath before go to bed

• bring a glass of water to your room in the case you'll want to drink it at night

• put on your pajamas (it helps you to feel more comfy and cosy)

• Turn on lights to make a room cosy (also this atmosphere helps you to unwind)

• Take a laptop or ipad and watch your favourite movie or TV show

• Read a book before sleep (reading makes you sleepy)

• drink a cup of tea with a honey, if you like it (honey also makes you sleepy)

• Turn off the lights and go to sleep;)

Good night, honey

Self-care day!

• take a bath (you can light some candals and turn on a favourite music)

• wash your face and do a face mask

• cook or buy biscuits that you like.

• turn on lights in your room to make it more cosy

• yay! It's time for your favourite TV show

• enjoy the evening and go to sleep at reasonable time. Sleep is an important part in your life that makes you healthier. If you don't get sleep enough, you can deal with some problems caused by lack of sleep

• if you can't fall asleep, read a book. It helps to relax and feel sleepy

~Daily note~

come up to the mirror and say 'i'm beautiful. Yes, i have some imperfections but it's ok. No one is perfect and you are not, too. Your mission is enjoying yourself not to be a creauture of perfection. You are magnificent the way you are"

Good, you made a first step on a path of self love. You deserve to be in a harmony with your body.

~Daily note~

You'll never get a perfect body, if you don't love yourself. People, who love themselves always think their body are amazing. It doesn't matter how many times you go to the gym until you like your body. So you should love your body because it's a part of you. Please, love and appreciate it
