yet i struggle to some degree everyday.
ive already learned nothing is goig to go completely away. even on meds. idk what to do because meds takes a little bit away but makes my life hell in other areas. and vice versa - off meds my life is manageable in some areas but hell with the symptoms.
one day im just prob going to kill myself. its just the truth.

I hope not....so start making a self care box. It will cheer you up at least a little....if you can't afford it right now then make a list. I recommend coloring books...there is something very calming about coloring.....something good to eat I recommend chocolate but you might put a particularly Interesting vaping flavor. Look for new music to listen to while you're enjoying all this. Books of pictures or photos that you like. Something that smells good....candles oils etc...I have bath salts. What gives you pleasure put it in the box and pull it out when you start to get depressed. It's just nice to pull out a box of fun stuff to play around with and gives you a small lift when you need it.
