If you've read any of my content before, it's no secret at all by this point that I've gone through some pretty tough battles over the course of this life long war I find myself waging against my own mental illness. During times when I've found myself in dark places and things have looked rather bleak, there are a few activities that have helped pull me back into the light and, in many cases, even helped prevent me from self-harming. I hope that by sharing this list, maybe it can find someone who needs it, and some of these activities can help them in the future.
