7 am and my #Anxiety has been going for hours. The #Depression is finally letting up a bit. My house is spotless, I have done a ton of cooking and spent a ton of time bird watching. I plan to go on a walk soon.

I got home from doing laundry and the depression is still bad. I have been letting myself obsessively clean and I went out to feed the birds until I got cold. I'm making a freezer meal for lunch and maybe a salad. Really trying all my coping skills today

A black and white photo of Morgan Freeman next to a quote about the strength it takes to overcome mental darkness and expressing pride in those who do.
I don't think people realize how much strength it takes to pull your own self out of a dark place mentally. If you did that today, or any day, I'm proud of you.

You cannot punish a student to have better self-regulation of their emotions. You can support them to manage their big feelings.

The resilience of young people - the ability to manage challenges and adversity in life - grows when they feel seen, safe, heard, and supported.

Finding Wise Mind Emotion Mind: Ruled by feelings, mood, and urges. Decisions are driven by emotions, often leading to impulsive or reactive actions. Wise Mind: A balance between logic and emotion mind. Decisions honor emotions while staying grounded in reality. Logic Mind: Ruled by facts, reason, and logic. Decisions are based on rational thinking, often at the expense of acknowledging emotions.

I dream of never being called resilient again in my life. I’m exhausted by strength. I want support. I want softness. I want ease. I want to be amongst kin. Not patted on the back for how well I take a hit. Or for how many.

Rage baking to save the proletariat or something. I've been sick this week and I'm exhausted. I added blue sugar on top to remind me that being unhinged is a delicious option.

This is an emotional regulation technique that sounds silly but actually works. Feeling your feelings matters. But regulation also requires action.
Move, Jump. Climb.
It distracts your brain and helps your body complete the stress response

How To Manage Anxiety Routine: Create a nourishing routine. Anxiety thrives on chaos and uncertainty. I've found a good routine helps a lot. Rationalize: Anxiety likes to pull out the worst-case-scenario. Reassure yourself as many times as it takes that you are okay. Talk: Don't be afraid to talk about your anxiety. Find a good support system. Try therapy. Break the stigma! Schedule: If something triggers your anxiety, try scheduling it into your week. Don't put things off indefinitely! Mindfulness: Focus on the current moment. Be in the present. Learn to self-soothe. By BlessingManifesting

✨ Imagery: Find a time with your family where you can all sit down, close your eyes and imagine yourself in a calm and happy place. Spend 5 - 10 minutes imagining yourself walking through this environment applying all of your senses. ✨ Activity diary: Support each other to schedule time into your week where you can all engage in activities that provide you with a sense of pleasure, connectedness and achievement. ✨ 3 good things: Each night before bed write down 3 good things you achieved from the day and identify what those 3 good things say about you. ✨ Strengths: Get into the habit of identifying strengths and talking about how you can all use your strengths each week to contribute to helping with each other. ✨ Breathe: Spend a couple of minutes each morning supporting your family to engage in some slow and steady breathing. ✨ Focusing on the present: Grounding exercises are a great way to stay focused on the present. Support your family to try and use all their senses to stay present with one activity they do throughout the day. ✨ Problem solving: If someone is experiencing worry work together as a team to come up with solutions to their problem. ✨ Talking: Get into the habit of talking openly about what you think and how you are feeling. Create an environment where you all feel comfortable to talk openly.
