therapy is too expensive? here's a few helpful tricks i was taught, to be your own therapist.
— keep track of your daily positive activities. make a journal and note down all small and big things you've done even if it's just taking a shower. try new hobbies. draw, bake a cake, paint something, anything that will prove you at the end of the day, it wasn't a waste.
—when you feel like everyone hates you, you feel left out or alone. remember the people who may hate you, in reality are around of 0.1%. hate is a strong word, even your friends can dislike some things about you, but it doesn't mean they hate you. that means 99.9% love you
—daily look out for yourself. make yourself responsible for any type of activities to gain energy. when you feel drained and better off dead, force yourself to have one task. one. may it be taking a shower or cleaning your room. it boost your inner self and gives you energy.
—not all days are good. but you have to know how to manage it. make a page in your journal with facts about your life and visit it each time your mind drifts away into unknown. like, "i did this activity and I've done a great job, I'm not as bad as I thought"
the main focus is always the mind. think of your mind as a garden, you are the gardener that helps grow and plants any sort of thought. keeping track of reality and not overthinking smallest things is one of the things that can help the most.
"pause for a few seconds to observe the flow of your breath. be aware of a silent but powerful sense of presence. ”
—surround yourself with kindness. this may sound tough but not all people can helps us no matter how much we and they love us. that's why, sort your priorities. see who you actually find comfort in and don't have many expectations from anyone out of the number one in your list.
it is very well known having high expectations leads to sadness and sadness leads to overthinking and overthinking leads to sadness and it's a very ugly circle you cannot break if you don't sit with yourself and see whose wellbeing matters at the end of the day. and it's yours.
keep in mind, if you can't apply any of these things please talk to anyone about your pain. pain is pain however you look at it and even if you see it as small, it's important. here's a few sites that can give you a shoulder to lean on.
apps: Talkspace, 7cups, Headspace (for meditation) and pacifica.

to end this thread, i'm not a therapist myself and it's only what i remember mine telling me so i'm sorry if this isn't helpful at all! there is always light even in the deepest pits, so please don't let any darkness discourage you. healing is possible.+
i reposted this thread because i believe it's really helpful in finding your balance. don't be ashamed to be vulnerable and have ups and down and let those who can, help you. school started for most people and it might get stressful. take your time to love yourself too.
