I’m Not That Gay.

Anxiety & Helping Someone Cope.  I didn’t want to make it overwhelming or too long remember, so I kept it to the main points that benefit me greatly when I’m experiencing an attack. 40 million of Americans alone suffer with anxiety; it’s a horrid feeling when you know someone just wants to help you but you cannot even construct a simple sentence at the time, so please share this in hope that it benefits even just 1 person. Muchos love. 

don’t be scared to live lovingly. compliment your friends on the little things and cheer for live bands in small cafes and leave tips when you can. tell the person you saw that you really like their shirt and write cards and letters to the people you love. make playlists for people and don’t be afraid to express your appreciation for others. life is so much better when you live it with love.

cute messages while I’m asleep is literally the key to my heart

Need a boost? Some natural antidepressants:

Turn on the lights. Having everything lit up can help boost your mood, and lamps are often used to treat SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder)

Citruses have high levels of vitamin C, which increase dopamine levels in your brain. Dopamine is one of your “feel-good" chemicals  Also, they have high levels of vitamin D, which has been shown to be lacking in people with depression.

Spinach has lots of folic acid, which helps produce serotonin in your brain, another "happy” endorphin.

Red peppers contain lots of vitamin C.

Walnuts, salmon, and mackerel all have lots of Omega-3. A lack of Omega-3 has been tied to depression.

Water. Yep, just water. 60-70% of your body is water, and when you’re dehydrated, it takes a big toll on your health- including your mental health

Dark chocolate can raise serotonin levels and has lots of natural stimulants.

Whole wheat foods have complex carbohydrates, which can increase serotonin levels.

Popcorn also has these carbohydrates that help your serotonin,

Most importantly, sleep. You know how if you don’t get enough sleep, you feel grumpy? Well, if you’re seriously lacking in snooze time, you feel depressed. Your body needs that time to recharge! Try to get at least 8 hours a night, or more if you feel groggy when you wake up.
