Here's a little reminder to get ya through the day!
Please remember to take your meds today!
And remember to drink water!
And, if you can, try to eat something!
Your health is very important, and you have to take care of yourself.
And also, please remember to find some balance today.
If you're doing too much, rest. Advocate for yourself. Get the rest you deserve.
If you HAVE to do stuff, at least make sure you're listening to your own limits.
Your limitations are not the same as the person next to you.
You have to listen to yourself
And take care of yourself.
For yourself.
And for me.
I'm so proud of you for getting this far.

Happy Friday everybody!

Well im glad some people have managed to take it with the spirit it is meant.

Depression anxiety and general bad mental health sucks and you know what I didn't actually write this myself its off a group in Facebook but when I read it I thought actually how true it was (i admit thinking it was a little bit sugary sweet too) . Im somebody who often needs a reminder its OK not to be OK and sometimes need a meds reminder.

And to anybody who couldn't take it in the spirit it was meant 🖕

Ignore those rude postersSocks , very childish, they could just scroll past. Your message has helped people today and that's what matters

Very little of that applies to me.

Do you need a sit down?

God there's some utterly vile people on here

sockittome123 · 20/09/2019 18:51

Wow, so many negative replies here, it's sad really that people can't see beyond their own worlds and realise that this is something that could actually benefit someone not in a good place!

nottoday3000 · 20/09/2019 18:51

@S0CKS well done for your positive post it might help someone fuck the haters

sockittome123 · 20/09/2019 18:53

You don't die from twee, you can die from not taking your meds, though.

This is chat, this is perfectly acceptable for chat.

Lovely message socks

Also love ur username!

Some people may have needed to see this today!

Some very vile people in here!

drinkswineoutofamug · 20/09/2019 19:01

SOCKS I thought it was a lovely post. As a HCP I say this to my patients everyday and sometimes forget myself. Happy Friday and have a lovely weekend

Namechange48379 · 20/09/2019 19:03

Thanks op, I made myself some food.

having someone even if it's a stranger on the Internet, telling you these things can really help. I don't have anyone in life to, so I follow a bunch of Instagram accounts that say drink water/feel good posts, this is the same thing. Thanks sock

sockittome123 · 20/09/2019 19:18

Sockbabies There must be a whole group of sock-related usernames on here!

Good job, 48379!

DaphneFanshaw · 20/09/2019 19:24

The poem is twee as fuck , but I don't mind a bit of twee here and there. We could counteract it by saying fuck and cunt as much as possible.

Shockers · 20/09/2019 19:24

Bloody hell, there are some mean spirited feckers on here.

I always know when I’ve forgotten my meds- I’m a blubbering wreck by 3pm. But I do need to drink more water! Thanks :-)

Sockbabies · 20/09/2019 19:27

@Shockers I'm the same!

@sockittome123 I know right... strange haha!

Butchyrestingface · 20/09/2019 19:39

Is this a reverse? 😭😭😭

Shockers · 20/09/2019 19:40

Might have to change my username to Sockers Grin.

LL83 · 20/09/2019 19:47

It's a nice post OP so thank you. Don't be hurt some aren't ready to hear it. When I was busy and stressed and read this earlier I must admit I rolled my eyes. But reading it again when calm I see the kind gesture and think it is nice of you to post.

BenWillbondsPants · 20/09/2019 19:53

Well, I'm not a fan of stuff like this.

But I can't believe some of the utter shite responses on here from people desperate to try to make someone else feel crap. Slow handclap to you, very well done.

It's very clear, to anyone with a brain cell, how the OP intended her post. It was meant to help some people who may need it and it was meant to be kind. Being unkind in return is fucking shit.

NoSauce · 20/09/2019 20:10

Let’s not start posting motivational memes or pinching stuff from other sites. Even with good intention.

RezCowgirl · 20/09/2019 20:12

Live your best life

Live love laugh

blah blah blah

BenWillbondsPants · 20/09/2019 20:13

Let's not start telling people what they can and cannot post.
