I’m so emotionally overwhelmed right now because I realized that I don’t completely dread having to wake up anymore. and even though I’m not as energetic or motivated as I’d like to be, I’ve been taking small steps toward my goals, and I feel like I’m healing and fuck man I’m crying

SHOUT OUT TO EVERYONE WHO STILL TRIES TO GET BACK INTO THE SWING OF THINGS AFTER DEPRESSION HIT THEM HARD. THERE ISN’T ENOUGH RECOGNITION FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO KNOW THAT THEY’RE GOING TO LOSE INTEREST AND MOTIVATION AGAIN BUT PUSH THEMSELVES TO DO STUFF ANYWAYS. YOU ARE FIGHTING A DAILY BATTLE WITH YOUR OWN THOUGHTS AND YOU’RE STILL COMING OUT ON TOP, YOU’RE ALL BRAVE AS FUCK 

tips for when you feel too dead to shower

because i’ve been there too, mate. one of those days when you can’t muster up the energy or motivation to do anything. you haven’t showered in two days and you really don’t want to do it now.

tip #1: do it. sometimes we have to do things we don’t want to. make yourself get in the dang shower. you can’t be gross forever.

tip #2: give yourself a minimal goal. mine is usually “i have to at least wash my hair.” after i’ve washed my hair i can get out. since my hair does not thrive on oils, i do have to wash it frequently. if that goal doesn’t apply to you, pick one of these goals: armpits, butt, feet. those are the main stink producers on your body. if you wash at least one of those, you’re on the way to cleanliness.

after you’ve finished your goal, you may or may not move along to wash more. but hey! you cleaned that one thing. you can present yourself as a functional human being.

do u ever like feel so absurdly reluctant to do things. like it ain’t even procrastination or laziness anymore u just physically and mentally can’t bring yourself to do anything. u really, really just wanna binge watch youtube until your mind numbs completely or lie on the floor and stare into the abyss. and it’s not like u don’t have “motivation” or anything or even that u don’t want to do it, it’s just. u can’t. idk how ppl just. Do Things. get up and go at it. i have to have an entire existential crisis and like, watch a goddamn motivational film or something first before i do the smallest thing. and it’s june for fuck’s sake.

it’s called executive dysfunction

i don’t say this often but: omg, i thought i was the only one, and i can’t believe there’s actually a term for it other than “i want to but i can’t and i don’t know why.”
