My life be like..

1) Remember that you have been here before and you will get through it. It helps me every time to know that even if I can’t find the strength right now, I know I can build to it.

2) If possible, take your time. If you need a day in bed getting nothing done, do it. If you need to slowly ease back into getting things done, do it. Knowing what is best for you is key.

3) Start with the most minor chores. Bring a cup from your room to the kitchen and wash it. Pick up some dirty clothes from around your room. Small chores feel like big achievements, so anything is helpful.

4) Self care. So important. Take a shower, take a bath, relax. Try to get yourself out of this funk. Sometimes, I’ll shower, and feel better and get one chore done, and then feel completely shitty again. But you get back up and try again and again.

5) Turn to someone for support. Whether it’s opening your heart and explaining to them your uncomfortable situation, or just chatting to stop yourself from isolating yourself. Anything that makes you feel like more of a valuable, knowable person can be helpful in getting you back on track.
