I wonder if you have tips on how to deal with depression and finding joy in life again when you struggle to feel it 🫠 💜

I will try my best to answer this but I am not super educated on this subject so keep that in mind.

DEALING WITH DEPRESSION AND REDISCOVERING JOY

Depression can often make it feel like the joy has been sucked out of life, but it's important to remember that you are not alone and that help is available.

SEEK PROFESSIONAL HELP

If you are feeling depressed, it's important to reach out to a mental health professional. They can provide you with a proper diagnosis and treatment plan, which may include therapy, medication, or both. If your diagnosis includes medication it is also important to not get addicted to it, as that could lead to other thing

STAY CONNECTED

Loneliness can exacerbate feelings of depression, so try to stay connected with friends and family. Even if you don't feel like talking about your feelings, just spending time with loved ones can provide a much needed boost. But also make sure you are taking time to yourself

SELF CARE

This can mean different things for different people, but essentially, it's about taking care of your physical, emotional, and mental health. This could involve getting regular exercise, eating a healthy diet, getting enough sleep, or practicing mindfulness and relaxation techniques.

FIND JOY IN SMALL THINGS

When you're depressed, it can be hard to find joy in anything. But try to take pleasure in small, everyday things. This could be a cup of your favorite tea, a walk in the park, or an episode of a show you love.

BE PATIENT WITH YOURSELF

Recovery from depression takes time, and it's okay to have bad days. Don't beat yourself up if you're not feeling better right away.

LIMIT EXPOSURE TO NEGATIVITY

Try to limit your exposure to negative news and stressful situations. Surround yourself with positivity as much as you can.

SET PERSONAL GOALS

Having something to work towards can provide a sense of purpose, which can in turn lead to feelings of joy and fulfillment. This could be anything from learning a new skill, to completing a project, or achieving a fitness goal.

UPLIFTING ACTIVITIES

Engage in activities that make you happy. This could be reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, painting, or spending time in nature.

PRACTICE GRATITUDE

Try to focus on the positive aspects of your life. This might be difficult during a depressive episode, but acknowledging and appreciating what you have can enhance feelings of joy and satisfaction.

Part Two Here!!

consuming mass amounts of media related to my hyperfixation isnt enough i need to eat it

No bond is stronger than a girl and the YouTuber she formed a parasocial relationship with in 2015

I don’t take the men in my life seriously at all anymore. I have learned not to even engage with them about any serious topic. If they bring up something, I brush it off asap.

Their job sucks? “Yup” is my go-to response.

They are in pain? “Sucks bro.”

Their team lost? Blank stare.

I could walk them through the steps involved with improving their education, communication skills, and employment viability, but they won’t listen.

I could offer to obtain pain medication and suggest a doctor visit, but they will only become dependent on my nursing services and will never stir themselves to address the root problem.

I don’t watch male sports, most television, or engage with male-oriented content of any kind if I can help it. Best I can manage is a shrug when they ask me about pop culture.

Once I figured out that every interaction men initiated preceded an attempt to exploit me, I stopped playing their game and they scattered like cockroaches in search of another food source.

All that extra energy that used to go toward men is now invested in me. I have time to read, work out, make myself nutritious food, enjoy nature, do yoga, rest, and listen to music (female artists only).

My life is improving every day.

NEW YEAR, NEW ME

( A collab with thee lovely lele @bloombabydoll )

If you want to reinvent and rebrand yourself, or just continue to make positive improvements in 2024, the first thing is to evaluate your current year. 

EVALUATION

Reflect on how things went for you. Was there continuous growth? Were there many difficult times? Did you discover anything major about yourself and so on. Try to summarise your year in (a) paragraph(s) at least. 

Oversee your goals. Which ones you didn’t, did achieve, difficult ones, easy ones and the impacts it had on your life. 

Compare your dream girl then and now. Is your visualisation of your life currently different to the one you have now and why? 

List any major losses or successes you’ve had in your life, and how they have helped you or why it matters to you. 

This evaluation can be as detailed or simple as you like, but as long as you have a decent outline of your year. 

PREPARING & PLANNING

To prepare for 2024, you want to know what you want life to be like in 2024. Something realistic to a point, but still is a growth journey. 

Think of something that you can associate with 2024. This can be a word, a symbol, art, a song, a book, a movie, a place, or even just all of these things. When you think about your goals and your journey, this is your theme. This is something that should relate to your goals or your dream girl somehow. 

For me, I chose a word and a song. My word is growth because, for me, 2023 was a year for just being able to shed my old self which I did achieve however I just felt there wasn’t much growth as an actual person and not just in my environment. 

For my song, it is Mayflowers by Proleters and Taskrok. This song is the epitome of what I would imagine, is the most polished mindset. I would say perfect, but having a perfect mindset is near impossible. I want to have a mindset glow up because I’ve just been hard on myself lately which has caused my confidence to plummet. 

Before we get into the fun part of the preparation stage, we have to do some organisation in our life. I want you to take a look at your daily lifestyle and your habits, and be completely unashamed about this. 

Then categorise these habits into two sections; Leave and Leap. Leave habits are habits that you are leaving behind in 2023, leap habits are habits that are leaping into 2024 with you. 

Any habits that are self-destructive, addictive or generally harmful are leave habits. Beneficial habits and self-building are leaping with you into the new year.

I want you to do the same for people in your life, all environments (school, work, online etc) and anything else you believe needs to be sorted out. 

This works better if you can reason with yourself why it is a leaping or leaving habit, but don’t try to convince yourself a bad habit is good or vice versa. 

Now, I want you to document an honest paragraph about who you are right now. List your bad and good habits, your strengths and weaknesses and your behaviours. This one requires a bit more detail. 

Then, write a paragraph about who you will be in 2024, your dream girl. List her habits, lifestyle, behaviours, mindset, strengths and anything else extra. I’ll explain later but do not include materialistic desires in this your dream girl. Once again, this one also requires details. 

Stemming from those paragraphs, I want you to create specific and achievable goals. SMART goals are best, but I want to introduce you to how I set goals. 

I divide my year into quarters. For each 3 months, I have 3-5 goals for those months. Usually, it’s one from each area of my life. Then, I break down these goals. 

Questions and How They Help 

Why do I want to do this goal - For motivation and commitment. 

How it’ll benefit me - For the sake of improvement. 

How can I involve myself in this goal - To achieve your goal.  

I prefer this method because it is a lot simpler for me, as I am just a young girl and my bigger goals are more in the future in which I’ll utilise SMART goals. 

To create good goals; Make sure they align with your current values and life principles first. Try to avoid creating goals that you have just taken from the internet. Those goals just aren’t it and you most likely won’t follow through with it. 

Be specific. Don’t say you want to eat more healthily, instead say you want to include (a certain group of veggies/fruits) in your diet and reduce the intake of ( food/drink). 

E.g using eating healthy example

I want to eat healthy -> I want to start including foods that boost my immunity system and support my skin while reducing those that have the opposite effect. 

Then break down those quarterly goals into monthly, weekly and daily goals. Make these habits that you can establish in your lifestyle and have a way in which you can refer back to your progress. 

EXAMPLE GOAL BREAKDOWN

Quarterly Goal - Read 6 books.  

Monthly Goal - Finish 2 books.

Weekly Goal - Be or near half way of one book.

Daily Goal - 20 minutes of reading per day. 

AREAS TO SET GOALS IN YOUR LIFE

Academics

Spiritual

Fitness/sport

Health and wellbeing

Mental health

Personal life

Relationships

Hobbies and recreation

Now for the best part- vision boards! Collect all of your favourite images that embody your quarters or the whole year, then put them in one place where you can see them regularly!

Some ideas are a scrapbook, Pinterest boards, mood boards, playlists etc. 

Choose your theme; It can be your healthy girl era, your academic come back or whatever you want. You can have more than two btw.

Use quotes! Then actually say them in your daily life as a way to shift your mindset to reflect said quote.

Include inspirational people. It doesn't even have to be a millionaire or a very well established person, it could be your friends or someone on the internet.

Be imaginative. Your vision board doesn't have to realistic in my opinion, as the whole point of it to me is that viewing it daily and considering it to be part of your life one day allows for you to open up to those opportunities.

Materialistic Wants

I feel obligated to make this a separate section. This section is practically tangible objects that you want.

However, when choosing this said object that you want, mindfully think about why you want that thing specifically.

It doesn’t have to be meaningful, but as long as each thing on that list has got a purpose to you, and will serve you, I think it’s all good!

Conclusion

If you want, you can definitely start implementing habits before January. However, I believe that as long as you go into 2024 at least knowing who you want to be and shedding away any limiting beliefs, you’ll be fine.

Make sure to incorporate some self care rituals into your daily life as well✨

To end this, I hope everyone has a very merry Christmas! And that 2024 they will achieve to close that gap with their current selves and their dream girl selves! 💖🙏

girlypop I have a question about your post with the rancid ass take about what jobs men apparently should no longer take. What the fuck do you actually expect men to do?? Because if we go with your suggestion to kick men out of all professions where they might encounter a woman at some point, the only option left would be to stay at home and do nothing all day while the wife does literally everything, which in my books is the exact opposite of feminism (equality) but okay pop off ig 💀

Terfs: ugh men are so shit and stupid and do nothing all day

Men: do a reputable job that helps people

Terfs: ugh how fucking DARE they

Like make it make sense girl

The common denominator among the professions I listed in that post wasn’t simply that men “might encounter a woman at some point.” The common denominator was men, either in positions of authority or asymmetrical power dynamics, having guaranteed and unsupervised access to highly vulnerable individuals.

Men themselves repeatedly demonstrate that these are not positions which they are worthy of when they commit atrocity after atrocity against the individuals under their supervision.

And you know, I could the take time to really showcase why excluding men from these professions is necessary. I could dole out the usual statistics on male depravity, and how it unequivocally spikes when men have access to women who are either undressed, unconscious, isolated, mentally handicapped, or underage. I could mention the frequency of male morticians raping corpses, or the frequency of male prison guards sexually exploiting female inmates, or the frequency of male therapists molesting or fantasizing about their female patients.

I could mention all the Larry Nassars of the medical world, like the male anesthesiologist who raped countless unconscious women, or the male doctor who carved his initials onto women’s abdomens during C-sections, or all the male gynecologists who have been caught taking pictures of women’s vulvas during exams. I could even bring up the fact that in most of these professions, you already have the option to choose a female provider, because other people besides evil radical feminists like myself recognize how catastrophic it can be to give men of authority unsupervised access to highly vulnerable individuals.

But it would all be futile, because at the end of the day, I’m never going to be convinced that naively giving men the benefit of the doubt is ever worth increasing the risk of female victimization, even by a minuscule amount. In reality, assuming the worst in men is often the safest and most reasonable approach, no matter how hurtful your ego may find it. And if that offends you so much, take it up with the men who created these fucking circumstances.

cozy stuff !!!! nem nem nem 🥹
