Stay away from me
I’m not worth your time
I am cold and mean
Chances are that I’m gonna hurt you even if I don’t want to
Because that’s what I do
I hurt everyone
I’m sorry to everyone I’ve hurt
But no one is sorry for hurting me
Stay away from me
You can spend your time on someone better
Everyone is better
I’m nobody
I’m weird
I’m messy
I will probably give you more reasons to stay away than reasons to stay
You will eventually hate me
Or get tired of me
Everyone does
So before all that happens
Stay away from me
You deserve better
I deserve worse
Much worse
I deserve nobody
And I have what I deserve
I have nobody
So don’t try to change that
I never wanted anyone to stay away from me
But they did anyway
And now that I’m used to it
All I want from you
Is to do as everyone else before you
And stay away from me

1. Know what your triggers are – certain people, comments or situations – and try to avoid those as much as possible. Be especially alert to anything or anyone that causes your mood to plummet.
2. Focus on the things you enjoy doing in life rather than on things that create pressure and stress. Make sure you schedule time for these in your day – even if it’s only a 10 minute workout or reading a few pages of your magazine or book.
3. Make a playlist of favourite songs that lift your mood, or help calm your mind.
4. Establish a support network – good friends and family members who will be there for you, no matter what. Don’t be afraid to reach out to, and contact, these people if you feel you are spiralling down.
5. Choose to spend time with positive, accepting, nurturing people – and stay away from people who don’t understand, or are critical of, mental health concerns.
6. Try to get some exercise as it releases “feel good” hormones and can change the way you feel. Also, pay attention to the kinds of foods you eat.
7. Establish and respect your own personal boundaries. We all have limits – and that includes you, as well. Don’t be afraid to withdraw, or to say “no”. It’s good to know yourself, and to know when “it’s enough”.
8. Be gentle, kind and understanding with yourself. Don’t be harsh, unrealistic or hypercritical. You are fighting a hard battle – so be there for yourself!

you can say no. if it makes you uncomfortable, say no. if it makes you upset, say no. you are allowed to say no. if it doesn’t spark joy, you have the ability to say no. it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t make someone else happy, you are a person with feelings that need to be respected and valued by others. you can say no.
