I know how it feels like, and I wish I could say something to make it all better, but I can’t. In the end, as cheesy as it sounds, the only person who can make yourself better is yourself.

It’s understandable that you are scared, but you need to remember that it’s not your fault. It’s the mental illness inside of you, like a parasite that tries to control you, and no matter how out of control you feel, you can always go against it. You are the one in charge and you determine what your life will look like.

But those words don’t always help, so here is a list of things you can do right now to help you feel better. Remember, often it’s the smallest things that have the biggest outcome!!

---

 ~ Release any tention you hold. Stretch. Feel. Breath!

 ~ Open a window, let in some fresh air

 ~ Change your bed sheets

 ~ Throw away all the trash you have in your room, bring all the dishes out if you have any

 ~ Spray room parfeume or air freshener

 ~ Take a shower. If you can’t get a wet towel or baby wipes and wipe your face, neck, arms and legs.

 ~ Brush your hair and put it in a bun.

 ~ Brush your teeth

 ~ Put on a moisturizing cream for your face or hands

 ~ Take a pen and doodle on a piece of paper. Doesn’t have to be something specific, just start and see what happens

 ~ Play an online game

 ~ Make a list of things you love (pets, people, activitys, shows, whatever!)

 ~ Call someone

 ~ Rip apart a piece of paper as small as possible. Make confetti!

 ~ Exercise a bit

 ~ Sing as loud as you can

Those are actually the things I have on my ‘coping list’ that I made with my therapist. Not everything on this list will help you, but they did help me reduce the self harm and help make me feel better. You can add to the list if you find more ways of course.

I know that sometimes you read this and thing ‘those things are stupid and would never help me’ but try!! Sometimes we have to force ourselfs but in the end, it’ll work.

And as for some motivation, today is just a day and tomorrow will be another one. Today might be horrible, but tomorrow can be better. There is always sunshine after rain, you just have to walk through it and I know that you have the power and strenght to do that. I believe in you and I am proud of you, and if you ever need a friend, feel free to send me a message, okay?! ♥
