Self care but not as cutesy
Be sure to drink some water. if you dont like the taste of it, drink a soda or add flavoring to the water. drink some OJ. AJ. Chocolate milk, or make some tea or coffee.
Eat. at least something small. a granola bar or maybe a few grapes. a pb & J sandwich or eat some candy.
please do not forget to brush your teeth or hair. if youre drained or cant put much effort do one or the other.
when did you last take a shower? go take one. Too drained or mentally numb? get a washcloth and wipe your face and take a shower when you feel better.
change clothes. i dont care if its from pjs to a new set of pjs. do it.
bathroom. do you need to use it?
change your underwear. please do. it feels great believe me.
feel like crap and dont want to do much? do a quick 5 minute cleaning whether its ridding trash, or taking dishes up or quickly cleaning off your bed for you to lay back down and stare out the window.
play a game on your phone. that shit just helps sometimes.
feel groggy? open a window. too hot? place a fan near your feet.
room stink cause its trashy? take out the trash. spray some febreeze or essential oil or a candle.
dont wanna watch tv cause nothing good is on? put on some cartoons and use it as back ground noise.
read a book or a page or so.
reorganize something small.
sit on your front or back porch if you can.
lay in a sunny warm spot of your home.
make up your bed. its worth it.
get out of the chair or bed for a bit.
give your eyes a rest from technology.
play some music whatever your mood is.
take your damn meds. they will help you. its okay.
Please take care of yourself. little by little. and please remember youre doing the best you can, youre valid, youre fighting, youre awesome. Mental health is important. Mental illness sucks. help your body out. your body is you and its keeping you alive.
