Depression Tips™

depression tips™

shower. not a bath, a shower. use water as hot or cold as u like. u dont even need to wash. just get in under the water and let it run over you for a while. sit on the floor if you gotta.

moisturize everything. use whatever lotion u like. unscented? dollar store lotion? fancy ass 48 hour lotion that makes u smell like a field of wildflowers? use whatever you want, and use it all over.

put on clean, comfortable clothes.

put on ur favorite underwear. cute black lacy panties? those ridiculous boxers u bought last christmas with candy cane hearts on the butt? put em on.

drink cold water. use ice. if u want, add some mint or lemon for an extra boost.

clean something. doesn’t have to be anything big. organize one drawer of ur desk. wash five dirty dishes. do a load of laundry. scrub the bathroom sink.

blast music. listen to something upbeat and dancey and loud, something that’s got lots of energy. sing to it, dance to it, even if you suck at both.

make food. don’t just grab a granola bar to munch. take the time and make food. even if it’s ramen. add something special to it, like a hard boiled egg or some veggies. prepare food, it tastes way better, and you’ll feel like you accomplished something.

make something. write a short story or a poem, draw a picture, color a picture, fold origami, crochet or knit, sculpt something out of clay, anything artistic. even if you don’t think you’re good at it.

go outside. take a walk. sit in the grass. look at the clouds. smell flowers. put your hands in the dirt and feel the soil against your skin.

call someone. call a loved one, a friend, a family member, call a chat service if you have no one else to call. talk to a stranger on the street. have a conversation and listen to someone’s voice. if you can’t, text or email or whatever, just have some social interaction with another person. even if you don’t say much, listen to them.

cuddle your pets if you have them/can cuddle them. take pictures of them. talk to them. tell them how u feel, about your favorite movie, a new game coming out.

Please keep the island of Hawai‘i in your thoughts.

The volcano Mauna Loa has entered a yellow zone, meaning residents should be prepared for an eruption. Keep the residents of Hawai‘i in your thoughts and in your heart.

Many residents will not be able to flee, tickets are expensive, homes cannot be left. This situation is delicate and will bring much stress in the coming days. Tourists will flee, but many of my people will be stuck here, with no money or place to go, trapped in the middle of the ocean.

There is not much we can do now, however soon, soon there will be relief funds needed.

Just please keep your eye on my people, and do not forget us.

Hawaii island might have little warning before a Mauna Loa eruption, scientists say

There are no imminent signs of an eruption, but residents are being urged to get prepared.

So I just had this thought:

A writer (and or artist) is trying to come up with a new oc. While in this train of thought, they look to the side of their desk and see a picture of them and their lover (bf, gf, spouse, you get the gist). They then start thinking of their fav attributes of their fiancee, and put one or two of them into the character.

I don’t know why but that just sounds so romantic to me.

It's been awhile since I've lit all the candles I have in my room (I'd begun to run out of matches in my personal stash), but I've just reminded myself why I liked to do it.

Moral(?) Of this post: try to do little things that give you some nice enrichment, you may find you needed it more than you thought.
