distract yourself with a show or a movie

hug or cuddle

take a shower or bath

make lists (of anything)

debate your irrational thoughts with logic

ask someone to talk about unrelated stuff

look at cute animals

talk it out

go for a bike ride 

listen to music and focus on the lyrics

watch something funny

play games on your phone

take a nap

go for a walk

occupy your hands with anything

I am capable, I can do absolutely anything.

I am going to heal.

I am exactly where I am meant to be.

I am loved.

My existence matters.

Everything is working out for me.

for those that don’t know, detroit has been suffering from water shutoffs so bad the UN had to step in and declared it a violation of human rights in 2014. the residents are still having their water shutoff because they can’t pay their bills which oh, just so happen to be purposefully extremely expensive. because the water is being shutoff (the residents literally cannot afford these stupidly gouged prices the city is forcing on them in an effort to kick them out) CPS is stepping in and taking kids away from parents because they “can’t provide a safe and healthy home environment” on top of other horrors they face. can you imagine not being able to take a shower at home? flush the toilet? do the dishes? water is ESSENTIAL for life

but, almost as if it’s nothing, the state govt decided in the past week to take charge of all the shutoffs and turn it back on and provide the first month free and a $25 bill. almost as if its nothing.
