So, schools been back in for a while and my mental health has gotten a lot better. I have learned that I need certain things and have to do certain things to remain this way.
Sooo, I think human interaction is a big part of my m.h. right now. Over the summer I barely saw anyone besides my family and a few family friends which didn't really do it for me. I also have learned that I need to be kept busy. Going to school everyday does this.
Another huge thing was taking a break from wattpad. Mostly what I read on this app is about love stories. When I read those stories it makes me crave that perfect wattpad relationship which I probably won't have till my 20s so it wasn't really doing me any good to read all of these stories and feel lonely and hopeless.
Moderating my friendships and trying not to get too attached to people is also very helpful.More specifically guy friendships now because like I said before, wattpad caused me to have the mindset that every guy could possibly like me and so that really messed with me.( also disclaimer: I'm not saying wattpad is to blame it's probably something wrong with me idrk)As you read before, that group of friends, we're all friends BUT I did get too attached. I realized that we weren't going to be best friends and do everything together like they do.And lastly is taking a break from Snapchat stories. Usually when I look at other people's stories they're hanging out with close friends which made me lonely and want to have a close friend to talk to everything about to. Also kinda off topic, I went to an old friends house a while ago and there were some things that I wasn't planning on telling her about like me being possibly depressed and it made me realize that I can tell her about most things, not like race things or my parents separating though, but ya that just made me smile. It's also wasn't awkward even though we don't see eachother much anymore. ( we still go to the same school but have no classes together and I don't really see her in the hallways)
Authors note- this song basically describes me right now
