What are 3 things you're grateful for right now?

I'll start: I'm grateful for m&ms, sheets of rain, and the internet ^-^

Therapy is great because it doesn't necessarily cure your depression or anything but it does give you the tools to be able to step outside your head, recognize what's a symptom of mental illness, realize when something is off or unhealthy, etc.

Like just now I felt like pure shit. I walked into the kitchen because I skipped breakfast and thought "I wanna go lie on the bed everything sucks" and I was able to say "Nope. I know being hungry makes everything worse, so we're eating yogurt right now." and sure enough, bam. Just a few bites in and mood increase by 30%.

The U.S. National Suicide Prevention Lifeline number is now 9-8-8. Spread the word.

ID in alt text and below the cut if needed.

[ID: Blue image with text that reads: the suicide hotline is changing. On July 16th, the one 11-digit number will be reduced to 9-8-8. When people call or text 9-8-8, they will be connected to trained counselors with the existing lifeline network." /End ID]

Love you all. This is a mental health appreciation post and I’m insane and I just can’t not love you each so much.

Hello Tumblr :)

My name is Lee and though I’m not new here this will be my first time actually sharing anything and being an active part of the content creation on this site.

A bit about me; I’m British, mixed ethnicity, nonbinary, and I love making creative representations and illustrations of my struggles with mental health and neurodivergency - specifically ADHD, ASD, and depression. I’ve created this blog with the intention of helping myself process, visualise, and document my experiences as well as with the hopes of sharing them with people who might find solidarity in them.

Hope to see you around <3
