15 year old me would be so annoyed with 21 year old me for being like I have a lifelong mental illness but I’m essentially symptom free right now and that’s partially because of my medication, but things like regular exercise, keeping a routine, trying to get enough sleep, and changing my attitude really do help keep me stable. but that’s not “do yoga” advice, that’s getting a different perspective as you grow up and I really wish I didn’t dismiss stuff like that as wellness blogger self help book bullshit back then
anyway if you’re a teenager dealing with mental illness, please know that not ALL advice relating to changing your mindset is “if you’re mentally ill just stop 😌” it’s stuff you learn in most forms of therapy
