hey so you know that vicious cycle of mental health making you unproductive which makes your mental health worse? donât worry friend I am here with something that can help
just get one thing done. break the cycle. it doesnât have to be some big task. in fact itâs better if it isnât. decide on something that takes five minutes or less. keep it tiny and manageable - the key is to feel like youâve accomplished something, so when your brain is all, you canât even do a single thing all day except lay in bed being useless, you can be like, oh but I did do something, brain, suck on that. it might not seem like much at the time but it helps a lot to have something tangible you can point to
do you have dirty dishes in your bedroom? get rid of âem. you donât have to wash them, just put them in the sink with soapy water. done. easy.
do you have a pile of empty water bottles sitting there? good for you staying hydrated. but you donât need a mountain of plastic reminders. throw a few in the trash or in recycling. donât worry about chasing down every single one, just pick a number. get rid of 5 or 10. easy, manageable even if you feel terrible. done.
do you need to do something early tomorrow? get something ready now. just one thing. lay out an outfit. fill the coffee maker so you can just press a button tomorrow. pack your backpack or purse. bonus benefit, future you will have an extra few minutes to breathe in the morning.
do you have a pet? spend 5 minutes with your pet. cuddle them. play tug of war. make baby noises at them. your pet loves you. I bet they miss you when youâre sad. youâll both feel better.
has it been 3 weeks since you did laundry? pick your clothes up off the floor and put them in a laundry basket. donât actually wash them or even take the basket anywhere. just collect the clothes for later so they arenât spread all over. itâll make actually doing them that much easier when you have more energy
did you manage to wash your clothes but not put them away? fold something. fold another thing. and one more. put them away. three things. you got this one.
did you do your one thing? good. Iâm proud of you. even if it didnât make you feel better, guess what? you did a thing. you got something done, you can be done now. you can go back to bed if you want.
For those with anxiety.
someone: so what is your biggest fear?
me, thinking about those times when youâre sat at a window seat on the bus and a stranger sits beside you trapping you there and your stop is coming up but youâre on a seat that isnât near a stop button so youâre going to have to communicate with this stranger to move while the bus is still in motion and navigate to a stop button in time without falling but youâre bad at socialization and maintaining your balance: heights

I'm still so scared. And I keep reliving it. Laying there, thinking I'm going to die. And no one would have known.

To my Black and Brown fam, please stay safe.
Stay indoors.
The worse has happened and that man was elected. White supremacy will rear the ugliest of heads in the coming days. They will be hunting. Check in with your loved ones. This is not a drill.
We will rally again. But now is not the time.
Stay home. Stay safe.
