Something that has helped me is the saying that goes

"Tough times never last, but tough people do"

Something that has helped me with comparing myself to others was the saying “everyone is on their own timeline”

When I'm struggling something that helps me is the saying "God is giving you these challenges to show other people that they're possible"

"Control what you can control" and "Don't be surprised by results you didn't get from work you didn't do" are two quotes that help me stay within myself and not get frustrated in intense situations.

I got this from Pinterest, and it lives on all my vision boards: "And yet here you are, despite the whispers of your anxiety, doing everything you put your mind to."

When I am starting to struggle, I begin to clean my room, nothing is better to clear my mind than having a clean space.

Something that really helps me is finding my support system. Even just being in the same space adds just a hint of stability in a way that makes it feel like it will be okay, maybe not in that moment, but soon because there is someone who cares.

I navigate through hard times by taking time to myself. I try to understand what is wrong, if it is possible to fix or not and what can I do that I like to enjoy some me time.

True success often requires time and perseverance, not just immediate action or results. Lyrics from Hamilton the Musical once said " I am the one thing in life I can control. I am inimitable. I am an original. I'm not falling behind or running late." Keep pushing, the results will come in due time.

I try to remember the saying "you can't control the wind by you can adjust your sails" when things feel out of control and I need a reminder that as long as I am pivoting and trying my best to control what I can everything will end up okay.

I really like the saying "your new life will cost you your old one." It helps me put into perspective how to weather the storm when changes are occurring in my life that might be uncomfortable right now but will benefit me later.

For managing panic attacks I do the 54321 method. 5 things you can see, 4 things you can touch 3 things you can hear, 2 things you can touch, 1 thing you can taste. It helps me find some calm!

Make a to do list, cross it off once or delete it. As hard as it is, try not to ruminate on what has or hasn't been done or if you could have done it better. List-making can be helpful for motivation or to pull yourself out of a depressive moment, but it also can be harmful if you use to-do list completion as a metric of your worth. Do things to help yourself! Not beat yourself up!

When things get really hard, take it day by day. Or if that seems too daunting, hour by hour. Try to get up and do one thing that benefits future you (something productive) and one thing that benefits you right now (something self-care)

2025-04-24 20:33:10 UTC

don't be afraid to get help, don't be afraid of medication for mental health. if you need it it, you should do it. it is less daunting than you think it is to get help.

2025-04-24 20:35:33 UTC

absolutely no one is perfect, no one is judging your struggle, no one is without their own personal battles. you are not alone, you are not weird for going through what you're going through.

Usually when I am overwhelmed, I remind myself that I am just a human in the world that changes faster than humans are capable to adapt to. It's fine. Everything is fine. We do our best. The most important is to take a very good care of your favorite self.
