depression tips
breathe. breathe in and out and focus on your lungs expanding and your chest rising. do this 7 times and attempt to clear your mind and you should hear your pulse slowing.
take a shower. ten minutes or fifty. I recommend with warm water. if you need to cry in the shower then do it, it’s okay love.
talk to your pet, animals sympathize and they care so much about their master and would hate to see you in pain. my dog licks my tears whenever I cry and i love her.
counting the number of items you have in your house/room/outside that are a certain type/color/shape. specific colors make your mind feel a certain way.
write a poem, or poems. writing really does help get your emotions out.
write a letter to yourself to open in 5 years. you’ll be pretty surprised to see how much you’ll have grown when you open it next.
write a letter to someone who makes you happy but don’t send it.

Cuddle with a stuffed toy. If the person you love isn’t here then a little bear or a doggo or elephant will also do the trick.
Take care of yourself. It’s hard. It’s really hard and it seems like such a minor thing but eat if youre hungry, hydrate if you’re thirsty. take a shower if you’re dirty. you owe it to yourself.
you will get through this. Im sorry that you’re not feeling the best but you’re amazing, angel and you’re going to be okay. i promise.
