A break from social media?

I did it earlier this year, and I'm concidering doing it again. A break, or vacation if you will from social media. The last time I did this was in May. I onlu did it for two weeks, but it had the effect I wanted! I felt it took too much of my time and I felt it became too negative. I felt stress and pressure because of it. I did it by deleting all the social media apps I have except for the app I use for chatting with my friends. 

If I do it again I am uncertain of how long my break will last. I feel it is back to taking up too much of my days as well as stressing me out. I feel the need to check if anything has happened several times each hour. This is time I could spend on relaxing, walking, thinking and taking care of myself. 

I recommend everyone at least try to take breaks. Just try it and see how it feels. If you don't like it there is no need to do it for long, but there is a chance it might do you some good! When I did it it was the most difficult in the beginning. The first few days I felt something was missing, but when I got through that state I came to a point where it gave me positive thoughts and better sleep. 

There have a been some nights now where I've had troubles sleeping. It may be helped with a break and it is at least worth trying. It won't hurt me even if it doesn't help. At worse it will do nothing.  The last time I let eberyone know I was leaving by posting it on the different sites. This was a way to let everyone know why they didn't hear from me. If I do it again I will do the same. Just so no one thinks something bad has happened to me.


If I do it it might do me some good and help me with things I need help with. Who knows? Maybe you should try it!

The smallest things

In a good period it is important to enjoy as much as you can. You should do as many things that bring you joy. A problem is that a small thing can ruin the good mindset. When a thing, either small or big, happens it may cayse your entire line of happy thoughts to come crashing down into the ground. This does not have to be a thing that relates to your depression or life in any way, but it is still enough.  When such a thing occures it is difficult to retrieve the positive emotions, but it is not impossible. Let your emotions come to light. Do not be afraid to tear up or do what you need to do.  When you have let your feelings show you can try to do something you usually like to do. It might not seem like it will give you joy, but try! It might be wise to talk to someone. Either a trained professional, a friend or family. Talk to someone you feel free to open up to. This was just a small tip from me. I try following this tip myself, but it is not easy.

Losing is not losing!

When I teach Martial Arts to kids I like to ask them what is most important. They often give me the answer "winning". If they give me that answer I tell them, no. I tell them the two most important things is being friends with the other students and never giving up.  I've lost many times in many different ways, but I do not view it asa big loss. The biggest loss to myself would be if I gave up. If I let myself stay down after something knobked me down. I try to always get up and keep moving on. When I move forward in my life I am happy. I often take long ways to get just a bit forward, but the journey is giving me so much. I am happy to learn. I learn a lot from my mistakes, and a lot from losing competitions or other endevours.  It's not easy to continue is you feel like yjere is no hope. In my mind there is always hope. I like to say that if there is life there is hope. I might not be able to fly by myself, but thanks to the inventions of mankind, I can s

Bullied for a lomg time

I was bullied. All through all 10 years of elementary school and all through high school. I was bullied by the cool kids, my friends and the other kids. I was bullied because I was a nerd,my red hair, freckles, my taste of music, the fact I was unable to roll the r’s when speeking. I was not an athletic kid and I was not good at the creative subjects. I was also bullied for being diabetic and when I started losing my sight I was bullied for this as well. Ever since I was a young kid I have had thoughts about death. I was not sure if my life was worth living. I was bullied at school, in my spare time and when the internet was getting common I was bullied there as well. It got so bad we went to the police with links, pictures and pages, all of hurtfull, bullying comments. We never heard anything from the police. This made me question if I had any worth in the world. I thought to myself «The police helps people that’s worth something, so I’m not. I started eating to not feel sad.
