art will save you, being unreasonably passionate about something niche will save you, letting past sources of joy show you the way back to yourself will save you, earnestness over composure will save you, the natural world will save you, caring for something bigger than yourself will save you, daring to be seen will save you, kindness not as a whim but a principle will save you, appreciation as a practice will save you, daring to try something new will save you, grounding will save you, love will save you, one good nights sleep will save you
damā¦ā¦.. that website āyou feel like shitā (itās like a questionnaire / troubleshooting guide for when you feel like shit) really worksā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦.. im not even all the way thru it and i even half-assed a lot of the suggestions and i already feel loads better
āgetting thicker skinā is great in theory but I think for some people āget better at handling your thin skinā is gonna be way more helpful advice. I have strong emotional reactions to criticism and they might never go away, but i can continue to try and handle each situation maturely and thatās the important part. Sometimes irrational feelings are chronic and living with them is better than trying to beat yourself up into not having them.
