Disclaimer: Although many of these work for my friends and me, that does not mean they will work for you. Also, many of these skills take practice when you are in a good mood in order to help when you go into a bad mood.

Why bother writing?
What makes a person try writing? What makes it worth it? Is there any use in it? These are questions many people, myself included, ask or have asked in the past. There are many possible reasons, so I am going to go through all the ones I can think of.

Butterflies
Trigger Warning: Self-harm and suicide methods are mentioned (without any images). Look at me in that picture; I felt so ugly. I have always wanted to look different. I didn't know what was about to happen to me though. What I do know now is that my life will never be the same.

Rant
I chose this image for a specific reason. It is how I have felt when I am not at work. All my life has been for three weeks is school and work. I am beyond stressed, worrying about grades and if I will have the ability to keep my job. This is not meant to discourage people from pursuing their dreams but rather to vent about everything that I have been doing.

Why Haven't I Been Writing?
Why haven't I written anything here in over a month? The simple answer: writer's block has been terrible for me. The complex answer: my life has felt like a living hell lately. I have been everywhere mentally. I have been hypomanic two times and depressed the rest of the time. Most nights, I have been lying in bed crying for nothing, struggling to not self-harm, as I have become addicted to it over the last nine or so years. When I have energy, I don't want to write. When I want to write, I don't have any energy to do so. I have still done some journaling for myself, personally. It helps my anxiety and sometimes my depression just to get my feelings off my chest.
