Guys! Thank you for all the beautiful submissions and stories of how you’ve been treating yourselves. I’ve gotten some really gorgeous ones in the form of just asks and anons (and people who asked to stay anon) as well. One follower’s finally getting a massage, caseyvegetables is turning a crappy situation into a reason to have an adventure. A bunch of vibrators got bought today. So, thanks.

And, particularly, thank you to this follower from Norway:

Hi Ivy! I just wanted to share some “treat yourself” news with you. I’ve been mentally ill on and off for five years now, and on friday I went to my first therapy session ever. I’ve always been scared and I’ve felt too unimportant to get help, but yeah, I finally did. And it’s not like it made everything better, but I feel like this is the start of a great journey, and I am proud of myself – for finally treating myself and my mental health seriously. Love your blog! Cheers from Norway. <3

I’m so proud that you’re getting help, that’s the ultimate in “treating” yourself! It took a lot of work for me to get myself into therapy and find find a great therapist, too. Here’s to the difficult and necessary work you did today on your mental health. <3
