Mental Health Month.
Mental Health Month.
Today is the first day of mental health month, so I just wanted to share some things that calm me down when I’m having a panic/anxiety attack. Enjoy~
• Drawing. I know it seem hard when you’re all shaky and worried, but this is one of the things that keeps me going when I’m panicked. Just a little doodle is better than hyperventilating, trust me.
•Breathing deeply. It helps a little bit for me, but it could do wonders for you, so please try and breathe and remember everything’s going to be alright.
•Playing with a fidget toy. I have a fidget cube because playing with it helps me calm down, but you could buy tangles, fidget spinners, or other things. Whatever suits you best!
•Writing down my thoughts. I bought a special notebook just for this, and I recommend you do too. It helps me by organizing my thoughts and stabilizing my breathing because when you write, you calm down a bit more (at least for me).
•Just talking to a friend, family member, counselor, or anyone you deeply trust. I say ‘deeply trust’ because they’ll actually care what’s going on with you and they will want to help you through this time of anxiety.
•Pet your animal of choice. When I’m panicked (if I’m at home), I pet my cat and snuggle up with her on my bed. She’s usually pretty chill and doesn’t mind. If you prefer dogs, hamsters, or even a turtle, those can also work, as long as you’re getting comfort from it.
I hope you enjoyed my tips on how I calm myself down, but I want you to go with a piece of advice. Please don’t be afraid to get help. It does not make you weak. You are a strong human and you deserve to be happy. I know it doesn’t mean much coming from a stranger on Tumblr, but if this even helps one person in the entire world, it was worth it. Your brain is an important organ. Please take care of it.

Reblog In 5 seconds for good luck
I’ve seen a lot of posts on my dash tonight about users who are threatening suicide, with other Tumblr members posting in effort to try to get ahold of them. I think you all should see this:
IF THERE IS EVER A TUMBLR USER WHO HAS POSTED A GOOD-BYE MESSAGE, SUICIDE NOTE, VIDEO, OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT, PLEASE FOLLOW THIS POST.
1. Scroll to the top of your dashboard.
2. See the circular question mark icon at the top? It’s the third one over from your home symbol. Click on that, and a screen similar to the one in the picture will come up.
3. Where you can type in questions, the box with the magnifying glass at the top, type in the word “suicide.”
4. Click on the first link that shows up. It should say, “Pass the URL of the blog on to us.”
5. Type in the user’s URL and tell Tumblr admin that the user is contemplating suicide and has posted a message indicating that they are going through with it or will be attempting. Hit send! Tumblr administration will perform a number of actions to contact the user and take the necessary steps to prevent the suicide.
TUMBLR: THIS COULD SAVE A USER’S LIFE. PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE SUICIDE THREATS.
Reblog this to keep other users aware. Suicide isn’t a joke, and neither is someone’s life. If you didn’t know this, someone else may not, either. Pass it on.

Hello fellow maladaptive daydreamer, it is I, your fellow maladaptive daydreamer
Hi if you’re a maladaptive daydreamer, can you like or reblog this?
I’m looking for more people to follow and interact with. Thanks!
I love that the internet saw people comparing women and other alienated groups of people and went, “they’re dating,” and, “they support each other.” We’re improving as a society.
