Friendly Reminder: Do All The "Childish" Things you want

The fear of being childish is, in itself a childish fear that we can and must learn to outgrow. If you like something targeted for kids, that is okay. Just because you're an adult doesn't mean you forget how to be a kid.

So buy gel pens and and glitter glue and construction paper. You don't have to be in elementary school to do little art projects with crayons or finger paint or wavy scissors, adults need self expression just as much as kids if not more.

Watch cartoons. Put stickers on your wall and your phone and your ceiling. Decorate your driveway with sidewalk chalk. Eat Gushers and Gogurt and drink chocolate milk. Sleep with stuffed animals and pillow pets if it's comforting. Want a little doll with tiny assets and bendable joints just to see how many poses you can put it in? Do it. Do it all.

help i cant read and might* have adhd!

okay, i have a HUGE problem with reading. i literally can’t concentrate on it and when i read i just don’t process it. i have no clue how to handle it. just sitting down and reading isn’t helping me at all. i literally don’t remember what i just read. my therapist has conducted a wais-iv test on me and i apparently have a shit working memory gee who would have known? /s

so my question is: how do you read when you have adhd?

any tips or tricks? i’d love to hear them in the replies/reblogs 💖 bc i really need help 😅

i wish everyone a good day. stay safe 💖

*i am going through a diagnostic process and the therapist who has been doing the screening said that it seems like i’m right at the border between a diagnosis and no diagnosis, but that she has to talk with my psychiatrist and figure it out. i should get an answer back tomorrow

Have you ever made an embarrassing mistake onstage? Did people notice?

Don't forget to eat something if you're hungry! 💕

Okay I wanna make something clear right here and now kiddo:

✨You are not responsible for your parents.✨

If they fight, have problems, can't get along, disagree, play mind games, manipulate each other, or are even just passive aggressive or don't communicate well, whatever it is is not your fault. Don't feel like you have to help or fix them, especially not at the cost of your own mental health and well-being. Don't feel like you have to be there for them to vent at or dump their problems on, especially if they're complaints about each other. You are NOT to blame for their complications.

This goes for anybody in your life of course, but dealing with the need to support the people who are meant to be your support system is something I see all too often.

You were NOT brought into this world to be miserable on other people's behalf. You cannot fix people, they have to work on themselves.

Especially if those people are your parents.

🐛 Even people who love you may discourage you from being who you are, from going where you need to go. Remember that they are probably speaking from their own fears. Know when it's your time to fly. Then, have the courage to do it, despite what others may say. 🦋

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%.

Just when I think I can't fucking take it anymore and I've reached my limit with how much shit I can put up with, I drink some water or get a night's rest or something. Just a little something so I can pull another burst of energy out of my butt and finish that last stretch, getting myself just a little closer to having just a little bit less shit to put up with.

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