I was a very messy kid, so I was shocked to find cleaning actually helps my anxiety.
When I was younger, we would even take pictures of mine and my sister’s room when it was actually clean.
I remember on a couple of occasions my mom would say, “Wow. You can actually see the floor.”
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.
If your friend has social anxiety, it can be quite painful and difficult to understand.
Social anxiety affects so many of us, but unfortunately not that many people talk openly about it.
People are too afraid of being judged, and this only sparks a lot of stigma and misunderstandings.
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.
