One of the most popular memes about the phrase "fighting demons" goes as follows; Dudes be like, "I'm fighting demons," and the demons are bisexuality. While there is a lot of truth to that statement, dudes and gals alike are fighting all sorts of demons that extend far beyond struggling with their sexualities. Mental illness is so prominent within our society, and it's important that we support everybody putting up a good fight against their demons. 

My demons used to be that I had negative thoughts about myself all the time, but I literally beat those demons to the ground and threw them in the East River. Before that, my demons were that I felt insecure in basically every friendship I was a part of and thought they would abandon me. At this point, I feel like those demons, in particular, are mostly squished. While new demons are always coming into our lives, it's important to look back on and remember the ones we've already successfully overcome. If you're fighting demons presently, these mental health memes might make the fight just that much funnier.

    Font - poeticdarkness Follow "Does anything I do make a difference?" Yes. Yes it does. You may not notice it, or see the changes right away, but it does. That compliment you gave that person, they took that to heart and have now started holding their head up higher. That piece of advice you gave a friend, they used it and now they are getting better. That piece of litter you picked up in the park and recycled, you could have just saved an animals life. You're not useless. The things you do chang

Paint your nails with all the colors of the rainbow. Get that tattoo. Go to the movies alone. Get coffee, then drink it at that special place you like. Mouth the words of the song you're listening to on public transport. Put that thing on your wall. Bake. Draw. Dance in your underwear.

    Font - Matt Haig @matthaig1 You have to be stubborn when you're depressed. You have to be like 'no fuck you I am staying alive. Every day is an act of rebellion. An invisible fight. And when it's over you are the person who defied a monster. You can feel more alive than before. You just did the impossible.

    Font - surqrised Follow "I think you lost all interest in this world. You were disappointed and discouraged, and lost interest in everything. So you abandoned your physical body. You went to a world apart and you're living a different kind of life there. In a world inside you."

    Font - rithmeres please make sure that wherever you're at in life, you don't treat it like a transitory period. don't waste your college years wishing to already be graduated & have a job. don't waste your single years wishing for someone to be in love with. if/ when those things come, they will come in due time and they will be good. but there is nothing like looking back and feeling empty because you wasted literal years ignoring what you had because you were hoping for something better. while

    Font - Dr. Glenn Doyle @DrDoyleSays Ironically, when we start to get better, we also often get sad-- because we start to realize how much we've missed out on, how badly certain people failed us, what the younger version of us actually deserved. Healing involves healthy grieving. No way around it. 8:00 PM 6/14/21 Twitter Web App .
