I’ve (very) slowly gotten to the point where when I have a gray day, I just say “fuck it” and don’t care. About anything. Binge an 8 hour show? Sure. Stare at the wall/play games/whatever. Going all in feeling crappy works better for me than forcing productivity and feeling even more crappy that I can’t do anything “worthwhile.” The next day, I feel so much better. That total break helps much more than a middle ground of worry. Hope you find something that works for you, and you are definitely not alone in feeling this way. 🫂

That’s where I want to be perspective-wise because I know these days are inevitable, but my way of thinking and guilt makes it 10x worse. Thank you🫂💜
It was a long process for me (years). Don’t feel like you “have to” act right now - just reading these notes may introduce an idea you can consider for a bit and maybe try out in a small way some day.
Good on you for posting your initial note - that’s already something a little different and therefore it is progress - and before you dismiss it as not enough progress, it really, truly is. 👏
The first step is the hardest because you are changing from being still to being in motion. 👍
Thank you for sharing, seriously, because yeah I don’t think I’m gonna be able to change my whole way of thinking in one day, but even hearing a healthier/more positive spin truly helps.
