I've always understood the posts stating that "you have to actually WANT to get better" as if they were simply about putting in more active effort. But tonight I'm finally realizing that what that statement actually means is that in order to get anywhere with your recovery, you have to decide that YOU are actually worthy of getting better. You have to look at yourself exactly as you are and be able to genuinely tell yourself "you deserve to feel better." Wanting to get better isn't just about willpower and hard work - it's about reaching a place where you can say that YOU actually deserve to feel better and mean it. And before you reach that point, it's hard to make serious progress - not because you don't want to get better, but because it's really hard to effectively work towards something you don't genuinely think you actually deserve.

you truly do not exist for other ppl’s consumption and your existence is not hinged on making others happy and comfortable by stifling and hiding and crushing and editing parts of yourself to be less than who you really are

Sometimes I go hide in my house, look out a window, pull my hoodie over my head & pretend I am alone up in the mountains in a cave … that is my safe space …

All jokes about being an introvert aside, humans are naturally social creatures and we need stimulation. Whether you're self isolating or your city/town/country is on lockdown, this will affect your mental health if you don't take care of yourself. I know we all joke that we never go outside anyway, but the fact we can't go out, even if we want to, is going to affect us. So I've compiled a list of things to do!

  • Clean. Cleaaaaaaan. Being in a clean house will make this so much nicer. If you're stuck in your house all day, being in a clean home will help. Plus, it's good exercise.
  • If you have a garden and can go in it, do! Plant some stuff for spring, tidy it up, feed the birds, whatever.
  • If you have a Netflix watch list, go through it. Watch stuff in the background while cleaning or something.
  • If you're sick, change your bed. I've been in bed a lot and I just changed it and it's nice to have fresh sheets instead of my sweaty ones.
  • Take up a craft. Go on pinterest and diy some shit.
  • Watch documentaries
  • Change out of your pyjamas, even if it's just into a hoodie and some sweats. You'll feel better.
  • If you have schoolwork to do, do it. I know, it's boring, but itll kill some time.
  • Paint, collage, sketch. Try and improve your skills. Get creative!
  • Call your family and friends! Facetime or phone. Call your mum, your auntie, your best friend, whoever. We're human and we need contact.
  • Rearrange your furniture, create a new environment.
  • Have a clear out of clothes you don't wear anymore
  • Read!! Read books you haven't read yet or reread your favourite books. Get lost in a different world.
  • If you're not in school, perhaps teach yourself something. I like to study stuff in my own time. Botany, human evolution, space, anything. Learning stuff is fun when you're not getting graded on it.
  • Fuck it, learn a new language. Go on omegle or something and talk to people from different countries and test your skills.
  • Bake, cook, make something. I recommend bread. I have a recipe under my #angie talks tag.
  • Support small businesses. I'm on a group chat with fellow shop owners and they're all worried about the sales going down. I know, right now you're worried about needing necessities, but shop around on etsy and buy birthday presents, diy kits, jewellery etc. You'll make their week.
  • If you're sick, open the windows. Its recommended for coronavirus anyway but its nicer to be in bed with the window open.
  • Watch nature outside your house. For like half an hour today I watched birds. I counted 56 this morning.
  • Make your own natural remedies for your symptoms. If you're on any medication, as always, check for interactions.
  • Nap
  • Put on loud music and dance. Get your blood flowing
  • Check out home workouts on YouTube. Keeping active boosts your immune system and itll pass the time
  • Make stuff out of trash. Pinterest is full of diy crafts, my favourites are bird feeders out of bottles and planters out of bottles.
  • Get into your sewing pile and mend clothes
  • Embroider funky patches
  • If you're quarantined with family, chat to them. Suggest a family movie night or break out some board games. My husband refuses to play chess with me because I'm too good at it, I've never lost a chess game in my life
  • Chat to people on tumblr
  • Journal how you feel or vent to someone. Its frustrating being stuck inside
  • World build! Make maps of imagined places
  • Upcycle your clothes and make them look cooler
  • Make a bucket list

That's all the suggestions I have for now. If anyone is interested in more recommendations for books/movies/shows/stuff to learn, let me know!

Please, look after your mental as well as your physical health. Stay in touch with people, we need togetherness in these times, not isolation. Stay safe, stay healthy♥️

people will say they aren’t attractive and then go create art and then go write beautiful poetry and then go bake a cake for a friend and then go spread positivity and then go write a novel and then continue to say they aren’t attractive, as if everything they do doesn’t count or doesn’t matter, as if societal expectations somehow decide their worth and fate.
