Hey everyone,
one of the few things I learned during my stay at the psych ward was to distract myself as much as possible. This helps me because if I start thinking about myself, my future and shit I'll often end up in a negative spiral of thoughts. This is what brings me to self harm or attempting suicide. If I want to get through the day, I have to prevent this from happening.
That's why I now try to distract myself, keep myself busy. I'm not very good at it, but at least I get out of the bed now. Some of the things I try to do is drawing, working out and studying. Perhaps you can think of things that work better for you.
I wanted to share this in hopes of helping someone. Recovery is something I don't think I'll ever succeed in, but I have tried to recover for the past 6 months. I don't think I'll die a natural death - but I hope this tip can help someone recover and live a long life.
