Here is another link to the DBT Discord. I rearranged my post order to jump this post straight to today. Last night I ended up putting the #Venti channel of the Discord on hiding because it became such a ball of anxiety for me and it did not seem to be helpful for the members.Continue reading “Mental Health Jumbled”

Inktober
What exactly is Inktober? (FAQ) I mentioned that I was going to do this way, WAY back in August. I’m even writing up this post during that time period. Okay. So I’ve had plenty of time to amend this post since I first started writing it in August. I really just wanted to keep myselfContinue reading “Inktober”
If You Need a Pick-Me-Up
In our DBT Discord, we’ve got a venting channel for when you’re having a hard time. Sometimes talking about your struggles can help. It’s always good though to be cautious about talking about your sadness and depression. Especially to a source outside of your therapist or psychiatrist. Focusing on it can cause you to beContinue reading “If You Need a Pick-Me-Up”

The Art of Simple Living: Part One
Okay, the first part of the book is really interesting. It makes sense because Zen is one of the building blocks to the foundation of DBT skills. The book is nice since it really only has about a page of text about each of these points. It’s not really something I’ll expand upon to muchContinue reading “The Art of Simple Living: Part One”
Mindfulness and DBT in a Cartoon
I will be very honest. I have NEVER seen an episode of Steven Universe. I’ve read some Wikipedia articles and watched some Youtube videos about the show, but never watched a single episode myself. I do like the music for it though and I’ve listened to a ton of the songs via Youtube music videos.Continue reading “Mindfulness and DBT in a Cartoon”

The “E” in PLEASE is Exercise!
