"I don't answer work-related phone calls, texts, emails, etc. outside of work hours. Whatever it is can wait until the next time I'm at work."
"I'm setting a timer. When the timer goes off, it's time to stop playing that video game, because otherwise I know I won't get anything else done today."
"I will cook for myself, with what I have in the fridge, so that I don't order out. I spent way too much last month on takeout."
"I will not let myself doomscroll all day long."
"When Chicken Little posts about how the sky is falling, I will take a minute to fact-check before I panic. And it may be in my best interests to unfollow or mute Chicken Little."
"I will unfollow those thinspo and fitspo accounts that trigger my body-image issues."
"I will make myself take a shower, and I will figure out what makes showering hard for me, so I can make it easier. I can sit or lie down, for example."
"This weekend is for resting. Not going out, not "catching up" on whatever I didn't get to during the week, just resting."
you don’t have to answer invasive questions about your conditions even if they’re being polite about it
Getting out of a deep sadness is never easy, but I know we can make it out. I've been struggling a lot with sadness this past month, but I've been able to slowly step out of it. :' ) Take lots of rest, go easy on yourself, and the light will come back. Sending lots of warmth out to you all- the sadness never lasts forever.

“Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.”
— Ralph Waldo Emerson
hey guys so apparently this is a thing a lot of people don't realise but like. if you have had writer's block/ art block for like. six months. a year. two years. that's maybe not a block. that's maybe depression. and you should maybe look into treating the source of the problem instead of just beating yourself up for not being able to write/draw. be kind to yourself and know that your struggle to create isn't based in laziness or a lack of skill or talent.
Be gentle with yourself 🌸
