Hello! You’ve been scrolling for a while. Please take a second and rest.
Have you drank any water recently? Please do so. Hydration is important.
Have you eaten recently? Please do so. Even a small snack will help.
Did you remember to take your meds? Make sure to take them as soon as you can! They’re important to help you function.
Have you stretched recently? Rotate your shoulders back and forth. Stretch your arms above your head. Walk in a circle around your room, if you can.
Have you been in one place for a long time? See if you can switch positions or locations. Check your posture if you can.
Have you been outside today? If you’re able, open a window, or sit outside for a little bit. It’s beautiful outside right now.
Are you meant to do something else right now? That’s okay! But this is your signal to close this window and give that something a shot, if you can. Go for it. Give it your best shot.
Are you up late at night? Please sleep if you can! Your sleep schedule is important to maintain. I recommend a warm drink and heavy blankets, if you’re struggling with falling asleep, or reading a good book.
Are you tense, anxious, or upset? That’s okay! Take a deep breath. Try to name five things around you. If you’d like, you can write them in the notes of this post.
Are you panicking, disassociating, or otherwise in extreme distress? Please take several deep breaths. Remove yourself from any uncomfortable situation, if you can. Here is a list of hotlines you can call.

Here is the entirety of Total Drama Island. Here is the entirety of the Ever After High TV Series. Here is the entirety of A Very Potter Musical. Here is a stream of Lofi music. Here is a humor video series about animals.
You will be okay. You are loved and appreciated. I am so proud of how far you’ve come, and thank you for reading. Take care of yourself if you can, and if you struggle, I know others will help you.
If you’d like, you can keep scrolling now. Have fun!
