i read this post about someone simply accepting their depression is not going to go away & instead of resenting themselves for never getting rid of it or trying to find so much energy to banish the sadness away or to be fully "healed" from it, they just focus on adding more happy things in their plate.

and that is something i can resonate with.

#might not resonate with many. might not even be the hopeful amazing tone i usually keep up in this blog #but something clicked so #be kind to yourself #cptsd recovery #trauma recovery #actually traumatized #just cptsd things #living with cptsd #actually cptsd #bpd recovery #actually mentally ill #actually borderline #rose.txt

Self Care Guide For Bad Mental Health Days

⋆ ˚｡⋆୨♡୧⋆ ˚｡⋆

♡ let yourself cry! feeling sad when you have bpd can feel like the world is ending, but it isn’t. feeling sad is normal, and it’s completely okay. don’t demonise your emotions. let it out

♡ cuddle with your pets! cats are absolutely amazing for this, dogs too. lil furry babies make me so happy and cheer me up so much when im feeling low

♡ take as many naps as you need without guilt. rest rest rest, even on your good days! stop overworking yourself

♡ shower, you don’t have to do your full routine, just make sure you wash yourself then apply your favourite lotion and sweet scented perfume

♡ cosy up and watch something that makes you happy. nostalgic tv shows are great, on my bad days i really love watching spongebob bratz or strawberry shortcake

♡ invest in a 2L water bottle and keep it by your bed for those low motivation days

♡ light your favourite bakery scented candle, sweet scents always uplift my mood

♡ do not isolate yourself, try to keep in contact with friends or family

♡ eat some chocolate or chips, whatever your favourite comfort food is. your happiness is more important than your diet

♡ if you’re struggling to get out of bed, try keeping everything you need on your bedside table so you can still do your skincare routines and take your daily vitamins from your bed

♡ run a nice relaxing bubble bath!!!

♡ put on some cosy pjs & grab a pink fluffy blanket and snuggle on the sofa instead of staying in bed all day

♡ set rules for yourself, write some things you that want to achieve in a day. such as keeping your skin moisturised, shower twice a day, drink enough water, getting out of bed. anything that applies to you. self care can become confusing and daunting, so write everything down to remind yourself to look after and cherish yourself

♡ make sure you’re eating enough. even if you’re not feeling hungry, if you don’t have the energy to cook, order takeout! it’s ok to eat takeout sometimes, just not all of the time as junk food can be highly addictive, and obviously isn’t very good for you

♡ try writing down your thoughts and feelings. i love journaling and covering the pages with pink stickers and making it look all pretty, it’s so therapeutic

♡ reach out to a mental health professional if things get too bad. this may feel hard, but if you need help desperately pls get it

♡ acknowledge that what you’re feeling is just temporary, whatever you’re feeling won’t last forever

♡ make sure you’re getting enough sleep. whenever i didn’t get enough sleep in the past, i would sometimes start seeing and hearing things, and would become very paranoid and disassociated, which is obviously not what anyone wants. so pls pls pls make sure you’re prioritising your sleep

♡ treat yourself, buy something pink and pretty just because you can

♡ take a day or 2 off work (if allowed)

tiny disclaimer: these tips may seem obvious to those of you without serious mental health problems, and they may be things you do everyday but when someone with mental health problems is in a really bad place, they can sometimes forget how to look after themselves properly, or in my case a few years ago i would just stop caring about myself. i love all of my pretty sugar dollies so much, look after yourselves and i really hope some of these tips help you 🎀🦢

The trouble with me "getting better" is my brain always trying to sabotage. I do good for awhile but then I regress. My appetite for self destruction is always in the back of my mind waiting to destroy everything. And my urge to sabotage relationships and push everyone away. They are proud of me for getting better right now. But what happens when I fuck up again? I'm scared.

i promise you'll feel better once you start to let go of the idea of being a good/bad person and just focus on doing your best to put more good into this world than bad.

if there's anything you've learned from my blog(s), it's that we can't put humans into neat little boxes. you're going to do marvelous things and save lives without even realizing it. you're going to fuck up terribly and leave a scar on someone, maybe forever. because we all do. you are not terribly or wonderfully unique in regards to that - but you are terribly and wonderfully unique in how irreplaceable your impact on someone else is.

for better or worse, no one else has the exact same knowledge, feelings, thoughts, worldview, support, experiences, and memories as you. you are the only person on this earth capable of wielding all that you are and directing it into creating a better world for all of us. all you can reasonably do is be aware of how your thoughts guide your actions, and what you choose to do. and that is far from the same thing as being utterly consumed by it.

and don't get too deep about it. you'd be surprised at how far just being authentically you and taking care of yourself can go. sometimes all you need to do for someone else is exist.

If you have BPD you need to ask your loved ones for reassurance instead of assuming they don’t like you or intended to hurt you. I know it can be really hard, but establishing that you need it will make people far, far more understanding.

Don’t say, for example “do you hate me? I’ve been awful you should hate me” that is unproductive and makes both of you feel bad

Instead, try “hey, I noticed you used this tone/words/etc, what did you mean by that? I need some reassurance right now”

It’s not perfect and not everyone will help but it does work. It empowers both of you and can help you work towards a future where you don’t even have to ask

“allow yourself to feel bored” “when you get older you’ll enjoy feeling bored or doing nothing” “just sleep it off” good for y’all but being bored is like an icepick being stabbed into my brain

I think one of the hardest parts of having BPD is the intense lonely feeling that I get. It doesn't matter how many friends I have, how often I go out, once I get home and am alone again it consumes me. I don't feel anything else but the emptiness that comes along with feeling alone.

a reminder whoever needs to hear this:

if you only wash one dish, that's one less dish to wash. if you only tidied up a section of your room, that's less for you to deal with later. if you washed your clothes but didn't put them away, you have clean clothes available for you to wear. you're doin SOMETHING and that will always be better than nothing

(it's okay if you cant do anything for a while, it doesn't make you any less valuable or important)

you are not a monster because of being borderline. you are not horrible or an abuser or evil. you were someone who suffered greatly and had your brain altered to try and save yourself. you deserve to heal. you deserve happiness and patience and forgiveness. but most importantly, you deserve love <3

My partner (and fp) suggested I also document the good moments for my recovery. So here I am, doing that. Those of you, like me, with tormenting BPD know there are those good moments.

The other day I was so so angry over the mundane and cycle I'm in. Wake, work, sleep. I'm without a car, too. So I'm trapped in my home. I wanted to snap at my fp going off about how we don't do anything together after work anyway

And then it dawned on me

The night before we were snuggled up, laughing our asses off to videos of people eating shit. It was so nice. I savored every minute of it. My mood flipped like a switch and I had to swallow tears at work. I live for the mundane. I want to be a homemaker doing the mindless chores. The big exciting stuff is a plus.

Everything was okay. We're okay. I just had a bout of big emotions.

It gets better

And I'm so lucky to have a fp who also has BPD and is so loving and understanding

[bpdcrybaby213]

BPD mood shifts are so terrifying. I'm scared of myself. When I'm not in a BPD cycle or split, I'm completely normal and feel like recovery is the answer and I think back to my self destruction and I get genuinely terrified. I just don't know how to change my mindset when I'm in that psychotic state. I'm so scared I'm going to lose everything one of these times I'm triggered and splitting. I've come so close to losing my family, my life, and just everything. I feel like a completely different person when I'm triggered and cycling and that person scares me.

there is more to you than your struggles, your wrongdoings, your past, and your present. there always will be. please don't judge yourself too hard, and advocate for yourself when others judge you.
