try to find a pattern interrupter. go on a walk, write in a journal, make a snack — something small & manageable but that will break you out of that cycle

when im having days like this, as corny as it sounds, i usually take the day for myself. invest in myself. whether that be spending more time on one of my hobbies, skincare, a long shower, cleaning my environment around me. you and your mental health comes first. invest in yourself and you’ll start to feel a difference! ❤️

I have found that if I start having thoughts that make me feel down, I stay busy. Whether it's doing a diamond puzzle or picking up an extra shift at work.
