Everything Sucks And I Am Not Okay.

Everything sucks and I am not okay.

Okay then. Try these things. (mainly for neurodivergent people but really its for anyone who has a problem but Doesn't Know What)

SHORT TERM- i feel bad right now and need immediate relief

Get off your phone. Seriously

Drink a glass of water

Eat something with protein

Shower if you haven't already

Brush your teeth

Tidy your space a bit

Open a window and stretch your legs or go outside on a walk if you can

Say something nice to someone

Put on some music. Something relatively happy

Hug a living being (pet, sibling, parent, etc)

Change clothes or feel a nice texture or listen to some 8D music. Sometimes its a sensory thing

Get something small done. Reply to an email or something

Do something creative. Draw, write, sing, whatever

Learn some cool new information

Talk to someone. Phone a friend, talk to your parents, text someone, etc

Read a damn book (fanfic counts)

Sleep, or if you can't manage that, try to relax or meditate for 5 or 10 mins

If you have over excerted yourself physically mentally or emotionally, gove yourself a break.

LONG TERM - ive been feeling bad for a while and want to get a bit better overall

Try to talk to someone about life generally. You might just figure it out

Stop making suicide jokes. Yes, that includes ironically saying "i want to die" at any minor inconvenience. for me, this was changing it to "im going to commit a war crime" or "I'm going to buy a completely unnecessary amount of clothes". Be ridiculous with it. Keep the comedic value.

Stop being self depricating. Failed a maths test? "oh im just really bad at maths" turns to "my maths skills are unmatched. im a genius" it can be sarcastic. then youll get used to complimenting yourself and will do it unironically out of habit

Change something. For me this was cutting my hair. i felt out of control. i cut my hair because i couldn't do anything else. this could be joining a club, buying new clothes, dying your hair, choosing a new perfume or deodorant. Anything that makes you feel in control

I might add more to the long term list in the future but this is it for now. You will get better, the silly little guy on the internet believes in you <3

get to know your moots!!!!

thanks for the tag @goldenjuniper ! ^^ googling executive dysfunction is such a mood, i feel you,,,

last song: Deliver Us (Opening Song) from Prince of Egypt !! :D i love love love that movie and recently started listening to the soundtrack and watching clips of it again, by far my favourite song

favourite colour: hrmmm, none really but i’ve been leaning more to warm colours like yellow and orange right now! very pretty

last book: i haven’t really picked up a book in a while (cough fanfics cough) but the last one i remember which was like. a week ago, was the Aeneid by Virgil! such a fun readdd, i get giddy reading it

last movie: still sonic 3 ^^; haven’t watched any movies recently

last show: House MD . noo elaboration,, i want to finish it

sweet/spicy/savoury: spicy!! savoury is a very close second. i just can never rlly taste and enjoy food unless there’s a ton of flavour and when it’s sweetness with a ton of flavour i can’t handle it well ^^;

relationship: no romantic ones! but my friends,, my friends make me smile and laugh and feel happy every day just thinking of them,, (looking very specifically but not limited to at @teshiee )
