    Every time I have a bad thought or cringe at something I did I’m about to say something bad to myself in my head or out loud like “why are you so… “ before I finish the sentence I say “…amazing” or awesome or “wonderful”. It took years of practice and getting it wrong. That’s why I preserve myself when I’m in a bad place

    I keep people who bring more negativity than positivity to my life out of my life.

    I avoid comparing myself to others as much as possible.

    I get regular exercise and eat healthy.

    I no longer feel bad for calling in sick at work, requesting to work from home if needed, or taking PTO.

    I say no to things more often.

    Lots of exercise, good sleeps, positive self talk, microdosing, engaging in hobbies.

    Drugs, travel, literally doing things I enjoy… like getting tattoos.

    I go on Reddit and talk to strangers about things I would never mention in real life.

    Work out and reading. I finally found the way to turn off my brain for few hours.

    I take my meds, I see my psychiatrist regularly, I see my therapist weekly.

    I’m also going to be entering an intensive outpatient program soon to try to get a better handle on things.

    Always make sure I have me time & self-care time. Therapy. No social media except Snapchat for my family/gfs and Reddit.
