Now *this* is a day I can get behind! For introverts, recharging our batteries isn't a luxury; it's a requirement to stay healthy. So for anyone observing or interested, get your hot cup of whatever, your things that recharge you (book, music, warm bath, yoga, netflix binge, etc), and enjoy a day dedicated to refueling yourself. #worldintrovertday #introvert #introverts #introvertsuniteseparatelyinyourownhomes #mentalhealth #selflove #selfcare https://www.instagram.com/raistlinsghost/p/CYPRu7_JUxl/?utm_medium=tumblr

I feel like it's pretty tough to argue with this one. https://www.instagram.com/raistlinsghost/p/CYDciHPrMOG/?utm_medium=tumblr

It pretty much do be like this. https://www.instagram.com/p/CX84YHUrEDu/?utm_medium=tumblr

For some of us, getting through the holiday season is kind of a nightmare, and this year in particular is tough for me. So I'm sticking with strategies that I know help. Rewatching old favourites, finding distractions, stepping back when I need to and not feeling guilty about it. One of my strategies is to binge the Doctor Who Christmas specials. So much fun (for me) to watch, and a great distraction. So, Allons-y!! What do you do to get through the holiday season? #doctorwho #christmasmovies #anxietystrategies #depressionstrategies #mentalhealthdoesnttakeaholiday #anxiety #depression https://www.instagram.com/p/CX39nDcr_iP/?utm_medium=tumblr

It isn't the holidays at our house until this movie is on, so I thought while we watch it, I'd put together this meme. Maybe it will encourage others to enjoy this Christmas miracle? 🤣🎄🏢 https://www.instagram.com/raistlinsghost/p/CX2JPpVrNh5/?utm_medium=tumblr

This is a tough season for a lot people. Please be kind to yourself. Do what you are able when you can, and accept that it's ok when you can't. You'll get through this. And if it helps, enjoy a smile wherever possible. (It's the unicorn's eyes that sell this one for me 😂) #mentalhealth #bekindtoyourself #mentalhealthdoesnttakeaholiday #mentalhealthadvocate https://www.instagram.com/p/CXoB3VkraZw/?utm_medium=tumblr

Don't try to be the person who you or anyone else thinks you are 'supposed to be'. Just do your best at being who you actually are. #bekindtoyourself #healingjourney #wholesomememes https://www.instagram.com/raistlinsghost/p/CXEEodtrl6f/?utm_medium=tumblr

You people know who you are... Lol. #itstooearlyforthis #thegrinchismyspiritanimal https://www.instagram.com/p/CWgdIk2r4x-/?utm_medium=tumblr

I received a good reminder about where the best place to live is earlier. Thought I'd share. #liveinthemoment #anxietyhelp #depressionhelp #mentalhealthadvocate https://www.instagram.com/p/CWdhDLDrxuc/?utm_medium=tumblr

Who knows. Maybe the mug's right? 🤷 #selfcarematters #selfcaresunday https://www.instagram.com/p/CWQ4F8Yrq0f/?utm_medium=tumblr

A friend let me know that today is world kindness day. I didn't know about this, but I do know that we could all use more kindness in our lives, to ourselves and to people we interact with, so I wanted to pay it forward. It takes so little to choose kindness. https://inspirekindness.com/world-kindness-day #bekindtoothers #bekindtoyourself #worldkindnessday https://www.instagram.com/p/CWOsw0VLiWj/?utm_medium=tumblr

Early morning moonset. Right in the same spot the sun goes down. Pretty neat to see. My camera phone (or me using it) doesn't do it justice. https://www.instagram.com/p/CVP_KFmra1uMl6XVcd_6cXCerPODpF5L6Hphj40/?utm_medium=tumblr

Go easy on yourself. And others. We've all been through a lot, and we rarely know what anyone else's traumas have been. #justbreathe #youvegotthis #youareworthy https://www.instagram.com/p/CVAgfeyLhfMEN3xgwKsX05jAOVhxG_6HOVOdmM0/?utm_medium=tumblr

But what if it's been with you so long that you can't remember who that person was? #mentalillness #mentalhealth https://www.instagram.com/p/CU7WLa9rYVGE5ogp7qASs3NNWjv8j_dHfoVKW80/?utm_medium=tumblr

“Hey, I found your blog on Tumblr-”

I went looking for some motivational words today; been having a tougher time of things lately. I thought I'd share some that resonated. (Not sure if all the attributions are accurate, but the meaning is the important part). In my experience, mental illness doesn't just disappear because you're treating it and working towards wellness. It's always there. The work you do means that some days you win and some days it does. https://www.instagram.com/p/CSHPr1WLVdhMhQm7SWfLaN3sbX73ART6aL270Q0/?utm_medium=tumblr

From now on, this is my answer to the "glass half full/half empty" question. #funnybuttrue https://www.instagram.com/p/CRWYFesBNAAMHpSU2XOLXkYbwQYyWRXaQ-z99I0/?utm_medium=tumblr

Kinda nice to have 100 or so extra feet of beach to walk the pooch on while the lake ice gets ready to melt. #gooddays https://www.instagram.com/p/CNFy-96Budvxw90ayr27xohb6iYyklEe3gYvx40/?igshid=16y3z8m516rs

What do you do on a gorgeous, sunny lockdown day? You go snowshoeing on the lake with the pooches, obv. https://www.instagram.com/p/CLhjXxBBa9Ki83rtgY3y9EfZZOPMXZWteikfdQ0/?igshid=g5t4285km5qy

How most people feel waking up everyday now, even when it actually IS Groundhog Day... #ironichumour https://www.instagram.com/p/CKzIHoOBF2RW89zm5SovtuM5uCzMkfrZ3TsRdw0/?igshid=19hq2ohh6vphy

Hard to describe how good it feels to have someone who actually understands what you're going through and not only stands by your side, but wants to fight by it as well.
