i slowly feel myself slipping back into the manic mindset i had last summer, i’m having trouble eating, sleeping, and overall i’m much worse than i hoped to be this summer. i was so happy i was getting better, i really don’t know what’s wrong now but i need to figure it out and stop it before i mess everything up again.

    Hey, sorry it’s been rough for you. This summer has probably been the worst my mental health has ever been and I’ve been going to therapy for years. I have been told by several mentors to just take everything one step at a time. I can’t change everything at once, all I can do is take another step in the right direction. Being human means making mistakes, as much as I shiver saying this. I’m a perfectionist who has to have the best quality of work to feel accomplished or else why even bother. I don’t see the people I care about as people messing everything up, even though that’s how I see myself. Be patient with the healing process and most of all be kind to yourself. Sometimes moving forward means taking a few steps back first. I wish you the very best, you’ve so strong and you’ve made it so far. I hope this serves as some encouragement!

    When I know that I'm slipping back into my old mindset or feeling the ways I use to I try to distract myself. Or "keep myself occupied". It really helps me not feel or act so blue. My favorite ways to distract myself are; watching a new show, watching my favorite show, drawing, playing games, and getting out of the house and doing something. It might not work for everyone but it helps me not sit at home all day and feel like poo poo. But don't be so hard on yourself! You are doing your best! And it definitely helps to talk to people. It doesn't even have to be about mental health. You got this we are here for you ❤️🙌!
