*gently puts my mental health in rice*

Hello there, lovely human!

This week I’ve compiled a quick round-up of some of my favourite, highly relatable tweets about mental health, anxiety, and self-care. These wise and witty words make me feel seen in my silly little struggles, and I think of them often.

How about you? How many of these do you relate to? As always, you can reply to this post by tapping the 💬 icon at the bottom. 💛

“After a couple of weeks of working out, meal prepping, staying on top/ahead of my work projects, being present for my friends and family, honoring my self routines and keeping a clean apt… this shit is not sustainable at all. lmao”

“Cancelling plans is ok. Staying home to cook is ok. Disappearing for a bit to get your life together is ok. Resurfacing in a foreign country 10 years later with a new name is ok. It’s called self-care.”

“The anxious urge to say ‘no worries either way’ when you are actually worrying both ways plus a secret third way”

“ *gently puts my mental health in rice* “

“The most tiring thing about adulting to me is how CONSTANT it is. There is ALWAYS some shit to sort out. You ‘chilling’ means you’re probably just ignoring the million things on your to-do list.”

“Awards people try to win that actually don’t exist: ’Never Put Themselves First’; ’Most Stressed’; ’Worried More Than Anyone Because They Care’; ’Slept The Least’; ’Stayed On That Weird Diet For The Longest’; ’Sacrificed Their Entire Life For Others’; ’Liked By Everyone’“

“I don’t understand people who do things on weekends. You just did things all week. What’s next, more things?? That’s how they get you.”

“Don’t understand ppl who are productive during the weekend, weekends are for feeling weird and wondering if ur friends hate u”

“Just because I choose not to drink doesn’t automatically make me no fun. That is a separate choice, which I’ve also made.”

“So let me get this straight….. I have to do tasks… every day….. dozens of them.. and then I have to wash my skin off (did not ask for skin)…. and then lie unconscious for a while.. and then do tasks again.”

“Next time you’re afraid to share ideas remember that someone once said in a meeting ‘Let’s make a film with a tornado full of sharks’”

“My husband asked how I wake up every morning without an alarm clock, and I explained that I do have one except it’s internal and called anxiety.”


“All I do is say ‘I’m out here living my best life’ and have mental breakdowns”

🙃 5 Fibs we tell ourselves about being happy
We're a funny lot, us humans. We claim to prize happiness, only to frequently postpone, trivialise, and altogether misunderstand it. What's going on? Why do we deceive ourselves? We all have a tendency toward self-deception when it comes to what we think will make us happy. Our most widely-held – but nonetheless faulty – beliefs are handed down to us fr…

I adored these tweets! I was chuckling at most of them-- they were so ME. (Nice formatting BTW, very consistent with the Happiness Letter look.

This is my first 'Happiness Letter'. I was really looking forward to it, as I'm working towards building a more positive mindset. I'm pretty disappointed with the content of the letter, to be honest. It's pretty glum, and kinda depressing. Will read a few more; but at the moment, it seems likely that I'll unsubscribe as it wasn't at all filled with happiness. I want to be free from anxiety, not be reminded of it.
