Just because something won’t cure your mental illness doesn’t mean it’s a waste of time.

No, going for a walk won’t cure you but the fresh air and the exercise will be good for you.

No, practicing self care won’t cure you but it might make you feel a little better.

No, drinking water won’t cure you but you’ll feel even more shitty if you’re dehydrated.

No, getting enough sleep won’t cure you but it will give you more energy to fight your illness.

No, eating regularly may not fix the fact that you’re mentally ill but it will make your mood and physical health a bit more stable.

No, cleaning your room won’t cure you but it will make you feel more comfortable.

If you can’t do it today or tomorrow, no shame or blame from me, but let’s stop acting like doing these things to help ourselves is a waste of time because it won’t necessarily cure our mental illnesses.
