Good or bad?

Sometimes when I have a really bad mental health day/week/whatever, I'll write down a letter to someone I look up to who's also struggled. Just write it in my notebook and keep it for later, you know?
group
This probably isn't the healthiest method, but sometimes I'll keep a calender of things that are important to me and coming up to motivate myself to just stay alive for them. Like movies I want to see, shows I want to watch, books I want to read, etc.
So if I'm having a super bad day I can go "hey, I have to make it to the 20th so I can see The Rise of Skywalker" and then after that comes out "I have to make it to the 24th for Christmas Eve/25th for Christmas", "I have to take care of myself until February for Clone Wars Season 7 and The King of Crows."
It really helps keep the good things in perspective when it sometimes seems like there aren't any.

no it isn't the healthiest, but it's smart. I've never thought of doing that, and I should.

- Find a play to read and learn a part
- Join a theatre group! It's kinda intimidating but it's a great way to make friends!
- Invent a recipe
- Try some cool photography stuff!
- Binge a tv show
- Make something and sell it, either online or at a craft fair. You get to be creative and make money!
See if you can sign up for Destination Imagination, 10/10 one of the best choices I've ever made, plus Global Finals is in Kansas City! Or at least watch some performers at Globals and get their pins bc the pins are amazing!- Renovate something!
- Have you seen Nailed It! on Netflix? It's an amateur baking show that my little sister loves
Both. The first time I read it, I really enjoyed it, even as a fifteen I think year old. I was really invested in the story and I binge read it in a week or so. I went back almost a year later and started rereading it and boy was it awful. The writing was dreadful. I couldn't stand it. I already knew exactly what happened and there weren't any little details I'd missed the first time. There were hardly am details at all. Also, the end of the series was not satisfilying. And I've read a part of the new one, and there's nothing to it except a bad metaphor for how gay people aren't gay by choice and gay people aren't evil. Which isn't inherently wrong, but there didn't seem to be anything at all other than an obvious (and poorly done) metaphor. And I'm not trying to say "the gays are trying to force their agenda on our kids", it's just nice to have an actual story along with your message. Ya know? And I knowww I haven't actually read it and I don't really know if there's a good plot or not, but… Excerpts like that are meant to be intriguing and it just wasn't. So in conclusion, he had a good idea and it was poorly executed and he should just stick with acting. Although from stuff I've heard, he wasn't very good at that either
group
Wait there's a new one?
group
Although I will say it's nowhere near as bad as Onision or the pretty little liars series
reading it is a mistaaaaake, why am I doing this to myself?
The only good thing to come out of Onision's books are StrangeAeons and Krimson Rogue's videos about them.
Also my Goodreads reviews kinda slap but this isn't about me.
group
Do you have a Goodreads? I'd friend you on there
group
Ellla get a Goodreads, it's super fun and you can interact with book lovers, find more books to read, win free books, and keep track of what you've read!
It was new a while ago, it's a prequel or something. It's probably out now
Not a prequel, it's about like…the kids or something. I don't think it's a prequel tho
Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou is a very sweet, chill manga you can read online! It's post-apocalyptic, but there's no stress or danger or hardship. I've been binge-reading it lately, it's great ^^

As for hobbies/things to try, I don't know if anyone's suggested watercolors yet? But I think it's a great medium that's really easy to use and learn, and you can do a whole lot of cool stuff with it even if you don't feel like you're very good at art in general. I think dry watercolor sets are easier than the ones that come in tubes, personally–and a single large round brush can create a huge variety of effects. Just a thought ^^
I'm really sorry to hear you're struggling right now….I wish you all the best. Keep finding reasons to get out of bed each day, you won't regret it <3
Thank you guys so much!!!
I will most likely try all of these-

sometimes you just need something to look forward to. i used steven universe future as a reason for a few weeks. right now i'm looking forward to deh, seeing some friends this friday, and a (rather bittersweet) goodbye party for one of my best friends
sometimes it's just the little things that i really want to be able to be alive for
also!
watch Thomas Sanders!
he's amazing and i feel like you'd like him!

I don’t even know what half these things are this was so long ago
Most of this probably isn’t stuff I can do until I’m an adult with money but not all of it-
That's a lot of stuff. I have an oud. but it's hard to play. At least, I think so. Because I can't. Maybe if I had a teacher.
