“Hey, I found your blog on Tumblr-”

I went looking for some motivational words today; been having a tougher time of things lately. I thought I'd share some that resonated. (Not sure if all the attributions are accurate, but the meaning is the important part). In my experience, mental illness doesn't just disappear because you're treating it and working towards wellness. It's always there. The work you do means that some days you win and some days it does. https://www.instagram.com/p/CSHPr1WLVdhMhQm7SWfLaN3sbX73ART6aL270Q0/?utm_medium=tumblr

Kinda nice to have 100 or so extra feet of beach to walk the pooch on while the lake ice gets ready to melt. #gooddays https://www.instagram.com/p/CNFy-96Budvxw90ayr27xohb6iYyklEe3gYvx40/?igshid=16y3z8m516rs

What do you do on a gorgeous, sunny lockdown day? You go snowshoeing on the lake with the pooches, obv. https://www.instagram.com/p/CLhjXxBBa9Ki83rtgY3y9EfZZOPMXZWteikfdQ0/?igshid=g5t4285km5qy

How most people feel waking up everyday now, even when it actually IS Groundhog Day... #ironichumour https://www.instagram.com/p/CKzIHoOBF2RW89zm5SovtuM5uCzMkfrZ3TsRdw0/?igshid=19hq2ohh6vphy

Hard to describe how good it feels to have someone who actually understands what you're going through and not only stands by your side, but wants to fight by it as well.

Ever since I first saw Endgame, I recognized the depth in Thor's story that maybe some who don't battle mental (or chronic) illness wouldn't. No matter what you're dealing with, or how much you struggle: You are still worthy. Nice to see a counselor agrees with me: https://www.whereyouarecounseling.com/blog/2019/9/13/what-thor-taught-us-about-depression-and-self-worth #youareworthy #depression #chronicillness #chronicillnessmemes #depressionmemesarethebest https://www.instagram.com/p/CKRL22vBwDEWYZ0d8izUOWwSuc6fQSCNkYB8R80/?igshid=1e74ihz7w0g4i

So. 2020. That happened. Here’s my review of the past year.

I wish everyone a *MUCH* better year ahead.

Lots of talk lately about what is and isn't a chrismas movie. Here's my "it's not christmas until" list. https://www.instagram.com/p/CI1lbGJBx4NEgS5jr60Qx-Qvl7tCNyhCDE0mGw0/?igshid=335bp8thot63

Pretty much nailed it. https://www.instagram.com/p/CInnF2YBUEoMXw1SEM3iyoDJAWgudEiRInxGPc0/?igshid=1y1ew49fcgwj1

It's cold and winter's just starting But the view ain't bad at least. With a weekend finally here, I'd like to just stay right where I am until Monday if I could. No anxiety; just warm covers, grey skies and a hot cup of tea. https://www.instagram.com/p/CIaupcpBQAhoL7u0Ks41b1hkOsVha_Nt5YlirQ0/?igshid=esp9vvuphfml

Mental health + Halloween humour? Ok. Because sometimes you have to force yourself to look inside your bag of hammers and smile, if not laugh. #mentalhealthawareness #laughterisgoodforthesoul #laughteristhebestmedicineexceptactualmedicine https://www.instagram.com/p/CG7UapQhtE4r9oCb0yxdbM6RBuPrV_abRjAEV80/?igshid=1aqwohinmx5xu

Having (more than one) invisible illness can just be so f**king draining at times. Today is one of those times. I keep a folder of motivational images handy that I make myself look at to try to help. Sometimes they do. Sometimes not. Thought some were worth sharing. #invisibleillnessawareness #migrainessuck #depressionsucks #mentalhealthmatters #selfcare https://www.instagram.com/p/CC_g-CAh-W8/?igshid=73rhu8jqmusj

Less than 1 hour to magic time!!! @jimbutcherauthor @jimbutchernews #punintended #dresdenfiles #jimbutcher #peacetalks *Note that I literally just finished yet another re-read of Skin Game to get ready for this... https://www.instagram.com/p/CCmaf88BxT0/?igshid=1pc1zn4ni3juj

Message of the day:

You are allowed to rest. You are allowed to say no. You are allowed to put yourself first. Your first responsibility in your life is caring for yourself. Sometimes that means doing the laundry, other times it’s taking a shower, or sometimes its canceling plans and taking some time to sleep and heal. 

Your physical and emotional health are undeniably linked. Just as you should not be expected to carry on as normal when your body is compromised, you should not expect yourself to ignore emotional pain or sickness. Treat your body and mind with kindness, no matter how small. You matter, your happiness and health matter. Fighting doesn’t mean you can’t rest, in fact, it makes it more important.

It gets easier after that.. #truth https://www.instagram.com/p/CBdHginh55WEo4OfJG0SUBA5rQbLowmPC-Fae40/?igshid=1rve4fikbympw

Some great movies got made in the 80s. And the best ones starred Arnold Schwarzenegger. 😅 They're not always the best at predicting the future. But they got some of this one right. #guesswhatmovieimwatching #thebutcherofbakersfield #fuckimold https://www.instagram.com/p/CBMRM6EBMU4MVEv3s8-HR1TgJ9eYeaK-sE_j740/?igshid=1h2o4ej8vsc2v
