Scheduling mental health days into my routine is a huge priority for me.
I’ve spent the majority of the last couple of years learning how to love and improve myself, and I’ve never felt more eager to get better.
And even though talking about my experiences with mental illness has been really therapeutic and eye-opening for me, it has also left me feeling more exhausted than ever before.
Anxiety can add a lot of stress to your relationship. Fact.
Even though anxiety has been an everyday constant in my life since I was 11 years old, I’ve felt my anxiety severely increase due to my separation anxiety from my boyfriend.
It’s added a lot of strain on our relationship, but it has also made our relationship that much stronger.
For some reason, there is still a huge misconception that video games are bad for you and your mental health.
They make you violent. You’re irresponsible and lazy if you play them.
For me, that is the complete opposite.
Whenever I get the chance to take a bath, I always do because there are so many health benefits of baths.
I used to take a bubble bath almost every night as a form of daily therapy when I used to have a bathtub in my old house.
Now that I don’t have a bathtub anymore, I’m amazed at how much better I feel when I take baths as a part of my self-care routine.
Don’t you ever wish you could tell anxiety to shut up?
I’ve had anxiety since I was at least 4 years old, but it took until the last year or so to really try and get my anxiety in check.
I’ve spent a lot of time trying to fight my anxiety or avoiding certain things that made me uncomfortable, but that only made my anxiety worse.
Anger issues are my least favorite anxiety symptoms.
Let me deal with the racing thoughts and increased heart rate any day.
But as soon as I project my anxiety onto other people…that’s when I feel the worse.
