Any tips? It's been tricky for me to feel okay being alone since I live with moderate depression and it.. well makes me nervous the thoughts I have about myself when I am alone, which isn't really healthy.. I guess maybe one thing would be trying to turn those thoughts around? I have also tried to get into mystery books to help calm me down.. it's helped a little.

I wrote a poem based on this very subject...

If you feel empty, let's get real... what is it that you really feel? Love of self comes first realize it's worse if you don't face it now hold your head up, take a bow you are the star of the show and you light up the sky like the sun, you should know... your life is a seed, you need to water to grow keep on going, its showing just how little you know, but it's ok, you can't be blamed when life is perceived as a game, not a gift a perception shift years in the making, but now we are finally waking no coincidence, no mistakes, so do whatever it will take to find yourself in everything, the birds, the bees, the trees and the lakes love is our language, not anguish or pain... so shine your light, don't get left in the rain don't live for others, and give thanks to our Mother she sings for those who listen with her soft winds in the distance... she speaks to the peaks in the mountains, down below through the fountains of youth, need more proof? rain nourishes us, flowers flourish from the ashes of wildfires new life begins just as quickly as it ends... so lend her your heart and compassion, in the kindest fashion, more art, less wars, leave brush strokes not scars and look up at the stars, never forget who YOU are an [b] ancient [b] soul in a brand new dimension so let go of all tension because from this moment on, you are free.

I would suggest maybe trying meditation, there are several guided meditations on youtube or the app headspace that can help you ease into it. Sometimes it's hard to just be still. To take in your surroundings and understand the blessings you have. The universe is constantly expanding and evolving, and so are you. it is so easy to get lost in the past or constantly worrying about the future. Realize you are divine. Your body is the perfect tool, your mind is powerful and able to manifest literally anything. You are unique. Your thoughts and views on life are completely your own. Your blue may be different than my blue, and that is a beautiful thing. You are important, your wellbeing is important, and you are contributing to this life by just being who you are. Maybe find a muse, whether it be writing, art, dancing, singing, etc, you will make something that others will be able to connect with on a spiritual level. Reading is another great escape, have you considered reading any "self help" type of books? The Four Agreements was one of my favorites that I can recommend... Also, if you have anything you'd like to vent about feel free to comment or sMail me. I wish you all the best <3

, thank you so much! I shall try that:) I heard music and journaling might also help. Yes, i do have a self love book.. I really should get more into reading them.

for me skincare helps. just the ritual of it is very soothing to me. especially doing face masks; sitting down and spending a little time just taking care of yourself.

thanks! I have some skin products i have been using for the scent as well as laundry detergents scents. Kinda like aromatherapy c:
