Surviving mentally ill teenagehood is a bitch but you can do it! A collection of tips from our friends
1. you have to get weirder and also realize the people in your class suck and if they don't like you that means your cool
2. let urself be as weird as possible because it's better to be happy than force urself to fit in
3. distract urself with fun things Constantly (but talk about the tough times too)
4. find a cool thing you wanna do tomorrow or later in the week, have something to look forward to! Maybe even a couple things!
5. Start a craft! It’s nice seeing that you’ve Made Something With Your Hands
6. try to recognize that even tho some coping mechanisms might not be the healthiest they might be what's saving you, and they are still important. The time for unlearning them is when you are stable not when they are still serving you
7. Failing classes is fine, it won’t end your future if you fail a little
8. Anything worth doing is worth half assing! an essay you write in a half delirious state that's absolute dogshit is still going to get you a better mark than nothing
9. write fanfiction for English creative writing assignments
10. If people don’t communicate why they’re upset with you that’s not your fault
