SLEEP
So I think I may have a solution to literally most of my emotional problems... Sleep. I slept a good ten hours last night and woke up feeling really good! I even woke up in the middle of it and had to do dishes, but I still woke up feeling great! I normally get anywhere from 2-7 hours of sleep and the only reason I actually went to bed early was because I had felt really disconnected all day yesterday and wanted my crummy day to end.
So I'm gonna writing this list down to hopefully give myself a way to form my own stability and go too list of things when I'm going through another spell.
"List of possible solutions"
1. positive attitude even if I don't feel like it.
2. Clean personal space, specially when I don't feel like it.
3. As soon as I feel sleepy I need to get my butt in bed and sleep. No staying up to draw and drink excessive amounts of energy drinks and coffee. (Tho my creative process is really connected to self destructive tendencies at this point)
4. Listen too 80s top hits when anything feels unbalanced. They will normally help.
5. Talk it out with someone. Specifically someone I know will help me critically analyse my emotions, thoughts and why or why not they may be slightly skewed.
6. Play a video game with my brother. Small you might think, but actually very big! Personal attention is a big love language for me and that is what my brother and I have when we play video games. I bond with him when we play video games and I also get the satisfaction of blowing some NPC into a pile of blood and guts while shit talking with my bro and cracking the same dirty jokes we always do.
7. Seriously maybe take a shower and eat! Mental health can be affected by physical health too! I need to do both of these things a lot more then I do now.
I'm gonna give this a # so I can find it and repost or add to it at will. #selfcarelist
