Why does doing positive things for your mental health — like taking your meds, doing breathing exercises, etc — feel like the worst thing in the world when you’re on a low?
Me: I’m so miserable Also me: Mental illness is a parasite that convinces you that the things that are good for you will hurt you, which allows it to sustain itself. That’s why it feels bad, that’s why you do the thing anyway. Me: *thinks about trying* Me: *cries and tweets*
Can I just say: thank fuck for games. Seriously. Nothing helps me cool down from a mental health episode like playing games. They occupy your mind, your senses. They distract you from The Bad Thoughts. Thank fuck for games. I’m gonna go play some Odyssey.
Something kinda funny: Now, whenever I break down crying, my boyfriend says “Remember what we learned in Montreal?” and goes to get me some food. It almost always works.
In my own experience, feeling bad and negative feels so trusted that it's easier to stay that way than to change for better. It's like an addiction. Gotta get out of that comfort zone.
