The basic, biological ingredients for well-being that our ancestors built into their lifestyles are missing from modern life. Strong relationships, sense of community and purpose, sunlight, exercise, diet, and balanced thinking patterns must be taken seriously.

Aspects of our culture/modern life furthermore set us up for sacrificing these in favour of patterns that facilitate consumerism (staying inside and watching netflix, eating processed foods, isolating ourselves, forming a worldview through social media, anxiously comparing ourselves to others).

depression tips™

shower. not a bath, a shower. use water as hot or cold as u like. u dont even need to wash. just get in under the water and let it run over you for a while. sit on the floor if you gotta.

moisturize everything. use whatever lotion u like. unscented? dollar store lotion? fancy ass 48 hour lotion that makes u smell like a field of wildflowers? use whatever you want, and use it all over. 

put on clean, comfortable clothes. 

put on ur favorite underwear. cute black lacy panties? those ridiculous boxers u bought last christmas with candy cane hearts on the butt? put em on.

drink cold water. use ice. if u want, add some mint or lemon for an extra boost.

clean something. doesn’t have to be anything big. organize one drawer of ur desk. wash five dirty dishes. do a load of laundry. scrub the bathroom sink. 

blast music. listen to something upbeat and dancey and loud, something that’s got lots of energy. sing to it, dance to it, even if you suck at both.

make food. don’t just grab a granola bar to munch. take the time and make food. even if it’s ramen. add something special to it, like a hard boiled egg or some veggies. prepare food, it tastes way better, and you’ll feel like you accomplished something. 

make something. write a short story or a poem, draw a picture, color a picture, fold origami, crochet or knit, sculpt something out of clay, anything artistic. even if you don’t think you’re good at it.

go outside. take a walk. sit in the grass. look at the clouds. smell flowers. put your hands in the dirt and feel the soil against your skin.

call someone. call a loved one, a friend, a family member, call a chat service if you have no one else to call. talk to a stranger on the street. have a conversation and listen to someone’s voice. if you can’t, text or email or whatever, just have some social interaction with another person. even if you don’t say much, listen to them.

cuddle your pets if you have them/can cuddle them. take pictures of them. talk to them. tell them how u feel, about your favorite movie, a new game coming out.

identity

Hey, so I want to preface this by saying that I’m supportive of everyone, however they identify. 

It seems like my fellow multisexuals haven’t created clear definitions of words, and it annoys me sometimes. I’m attracted to men, women, and all sorts of non-binary people, and depending on who I ask this would make me either bi or pansexual. At this point, I don’t know which label I should use. 

A lot of people I know, who identify as bi, are attracted to (and have dated) nonbinary people, but, a lot of pansexuals distinguish themselves from bisexuals by saying that bisexuals are only attracted to binary genders, so according to them those bi people would be pansexual. I feel like people who are attracted to all genders identifying as bi is valid. Because of that, I don’t want to say I'm pansexual and not bi BECAUSE of my attraction to nonbinary folks, because I feel like that would invalidate bisexuals who date nonbinary people. Either way, I fit under the multisexual umbrella, so I’ve been using that label for now, or just switching between the three terms. Which leads me to my next point;

Why does no one use the term multisexual as an umbrella term? Whenever people talk about the multisexual umbrella, people just say bi, whether the person is Omni, pan, bi, or otherwise. What's up with that? Is bi the umbrella term?

At this point, I'm beginning to hate labels, which sucks bc my lizard brain really likes to put labels on everything, especially me... maybe I should work on that.

OMG, i need these!!! where do i buy them? are they good for all climates? they look so fluffy!!

Have you ever heard of teddy bear sunflowers? If not I highly recommend looking them up!

I looked them up and 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

hey, so lateral sourcing is really difficult with international news but, i did learn a bit about how the italian gov functions while trying to find out if it was cool to reblog this..

i'm not italian, so idk if this is a reputable source, but i found a few good summarizing articles. (if you don't speak italian -in which case same- the option to google translate will pop up automatically for google users <3)
