    To summarise:
    *Exercise and 'uncreak your bones'*
    -this doesn't have to be extreme or long, you can just put on some music and work up a sweat dancing!
    *Get prepped and feel prepped*
    -don't stay in dirty, smelly pj's all day, save that for weekends!
    *Mediate/think and listen in gratitude*
    -just sit, maybe listen to sounds or look out a window, and just...think
    *Find fulfilment and/or control*
    -organise something or move furniture, feel productive!
    *Combat loneliness (not just with FaceTime!)*
    -just have someone with you (not necessarily in person) and do nothing, maybe watch something together
    *Find comfort*
    -watch a comfort show or listen to comfort music
    *Pass time nicely*
    -spend time knitting, making a bracelet, doing a puzzle, etc.
    *'Quick fire round':*
    -Light candles in the dark
    -Have a bath with candles
    -Bake something
    -Open a window/go outside in a garden/balcony (wash your hands after!)
    I hope this helps someone x
    Stay safe :)

    isolation’s left me alone with my thoughts and i think that’s the scariest thing, i keep getting worried and thinking about what i’ll do once this is over and where my life’s going. i think i just need to remind myself that everything happens for a reason, and that no matter where i choose to go next, what college i go to or what path i take, i’ll be ok. i get into this habit of wanting to know the future and wanting to have a set plan and goal, but life’s just not like that, i think i just need to settle in on the mindset of ‘whatever happens, happens because it needed to, go with the flow and things will always work out’, i need to focus on the here and now and focus on the future when it becomes the present.

    • @fridasimpson9186
      @fridasimpson9186 4 роки тому +3

      thinking about your life and the future doesn't have to be bad, it can be nice to dream about what sort of person you could to be, all the fun things you want to do Etc, Etc.
      I say this because you said you need to, "settle in on the mindset of 'whatever happens, happens because it needed to, go with the flow and things will work out alright'"
      and people never say that about good things.
      you also said "whatever collage I go to or what path I take, I'll be ok".
      many older people I know say that there are always choices and chances to change your mind, you are never really stuck on one path.
      Thoughts can be scary, but your mind is your own and quiet time for reflection isn't always a bad thing, it might give you a chance to untangle some of these thoughts.
      I shall leave you with my favourite quote from Niels Bohr, "Prediction is very difficult, especially about the future." :)

    A lot of people are lonely still. For all kinds of reasons. Self-isolation and lockdown were extreme, but this is good, comforting, sensible advice to us all. Thanks, dodie. Be kind to yourself too. 😊

    "Me and a bunch of friends watched Jaws the other day. It was nice." _Next sentence_ - "Listen to your comfort music or watch your comfort show...something that you always return to to make you feel calm." *Jaws is literally one of the most un-calm movies ever!! You might feel a lot calmer for simply having skipped that!!*

    I’ve been making music on fl studio but I have been struggling and the way I help myself is by being kind to others sooooo
    If you’re currently struggling in these weird times stay strong we can get through this together
    Anyone struggling with depression in these current times you can do this I know what depression is like and how lonely it is but remember your not alone
    Anyone with anxiety it’s gonna be ok keep moving and keep going
    This is to everyone take care of your mental health, for example
    Try to do a small bit of exercise even if it is just dancing like dodie said or even running laps in the garden
    Maybe try some new things during this time like I don’t know playing a instrument or something idk 😐
    But overall look after yourself and stay strong everything will be ok in the end keep smiling and being yourself because that’s when your most beautiful
    That includes you dodie 💙

    I live in the Finnish countryside and when I go out I literally see no people out of their cars, no matter the time of day. So it's safe to be outside and that's nice but I still feel lonely and bad. My mom lets me buy the groceries so that I can get out of the house and that, too, is nice. I'm lucky but I still feel not so great. I can't imagine what people living in crowded places must feel like, trapped in their apartments unable to go outside without limits. TELEPATHIC HUGS TO ALL OF YOU

    You know, I completely get that dodie doesn’t love vlogging or making videos anymore, but I’ve felt so...comforted? By the return of her short, speaking or singing at the camera casually. It’s like seeing an old friend when you’ve been thinking about them recently. It’s quite lovely.

    Yesterday I went and sat on the ground, in the forest and listened to the songbirds sing and watched them fly around in the trees.
    I pity the poor people who live in apartments who can't even go for a walk around the block in the city or go out and just walk around the forest and sing to the trees in the country.

    This is so helpful - thank you so much Dodie! I have been struggling a lot recently with my mental health and of course, self-isolation has not really improved the situation. It helped to hear someone else say that getting up and ready for the day, instead of "sitting in smelly pijamas" is a simple way to feel better. I have been in a constant state of dissociation for about a fortnight and putting on a very me outfit and washing my hair so I smell of my familiar coconut shampoo, really helps me to feel like me again.
    Thank you and stay happy and safe everyone!

    the biggest thing i do when i’m depressed is isolate which really just allows everything to fester. i’ve been loving quarantine because i’m self destructive like that and am consistently making myself more depressed by isolating, which makes me want to isolate more. it’s a habit that i was starting to break out of when this whole mess started. this video has helped. thank you.

    Im stuck at uni and for some reason still have essays to write
    I get distracted in my flat so I usually take myself to a cafe and sit Alll day writing. A good tip for people in similar positions is to really simulate that environment. I put up some lights, I brought my desk plants into the kitchen, I even made a playlist with all the groovy music I hear in cafes. Close my eyes for a bit and I'm in my favourite coffee shop down the street. It's open and sunny and makes the process much more intriguing :)

    one thing I've realized since isolation has begun is how incredibly touch starved I am. school distracted me so I never noticed and I usually got quick hugs off and on during the day. but now that I'm in a home where hugs never happen, and family affection and closeness has never been a thing, has made me realize how much I want to be hugged and cuddled. I just want a warm embrace, and to talk to someone who understands and expresses care for me. I sound pathetic, but I'm a huggy person and I'm getting antsy. god I babbled. I hope you all are staying safe and cozy. remember to wash your hands. take care!

    For any Nurses in the room, Student, Auxiliary, Trained (Staff), Doctors, Physios, Paramedics, ECA, EMTs etc especially people who are new to the profession like me.
    Times are hard at the moment so remember to talk to your colleagues and family (Especially if you have a medical family like me) about work, unload that shit and don't be afraid to be valuable.
    I broke down in the shower after my last shift, spoke to my mum about everything and felt pretty good afterwards.
    My point is don't bottle it up like I have over the last few months, talk to people that'll understand, if that's not family then it'll be your colleagues and work mates because honestly only people that have experienced all of it will understand.

    Isolation has been hard for me lately because it’s been heightening my mental illnesses. Recently I went through a period of intense derealization and paranoia and i felt so trapped and alone that it was like I was in another dimension. It is hard! I know a lot of people are also probably feeling this way, but we will get through it. Dodie, I want you to know that you have been my comfort content. When I feel like I’m not real and I can’t see and I’m alone I’ll read your book and watch your videos, or I’ll sit and close my eyes and listen to your music on repeat until I calm down. Thank you for making me feel less alone and insane in these times :)

  • @Jordan-fx6te

    It's so hard to have to be the one to remind myself about these things. Sometimes remembering self care is even harder than just forgetting about it. So it is so so sooo nice to, for once, not be the one trying to tell myself what's good for me. I can listen to someone else reminding me that it will make me feel better, and that trying to feel okay doesn't have to be painful.

    My quarantine hasn’t been difficult because of the isolation, but because of my situation. My niece and nephew (8 and 4) stay with my family from Friday to Monday every week due to my sister’s (their mum’s) alcohol problem. Because my parents are in their 50s they’re not fit for dealing with two very very hyper energetic children, and are always mad at them. So I (15 years old) try my very best to help out at all times. My parents are also very stressed over my sister and are usually yelling at her on the phone, arguing about her to each other, or just arguing with each other for no reason. The house is very angry a lot of the time, even during the week. It’s not nice for me. I’m always tired and drained and stressed from the kids. (Plus I have an iron deficiency which doesn’t help) so keeping up with countless assignments all due very soon is getting tricky. Especially considering the kids might be living with us full time soon if the problem gets worse. I’m worried

    I don't have any close friends. All this narrative during the pandemic about surrounding yourself with calls or activities online with "friends" makes me feel like a failure. My friends left me alone, they push themselves away from me on purpose. I feel extremely lonely and misunderstood. It seems I'd never be good enough for anyone to be my friend. They all leave, they always disappear. I don't know what to do anymore.
