tips to get your life back on track after a breakdown.
sleep. ur body needs to rest. the average panic attack takes as much energy as running a half marathon. let urself rest. take a 20 minute nap. any longer and u will hit ur rem cycle, and u will wake up worse off. after, u will feel sm better.
clean something. literally anything. a plate, a drawer, the whole mf bathroom. it doesn’t matter how much or how little. it’ll make u feel more in control, and it’ll make ur surroundings more appropriate for recovery.
get some fresh air. even just opening ur window for a few hours will help. if u feel up to it, take a walk. take ur dog. pick some flowers. cloudgaze. even just sit in ur garden for a bit. ur body will thrive off of non-stale air.
eat and drink. i know for some people this is hard. it’s alright if all u can manage is a granola bar or some cereal. anything is progress and will fuel ur body. drink water if u can but anything apart from alcohol will hydrate u.
take a shower. i know how hard it is to take a shower, but it fucking helps. if u don’t do anything else off this list, do this. it’ll help more than u know.
talk to someone. i cant stress this enough. humans are social creatures! we crave interaction. even the most introverted introvert needs to talk to someone. call ur mom/dad. text a friend. skype ur sibling. chat to ur local cashier. anything! u will feel less alone.
do something fun! same as above, it’ll make u feel sm better, and provide a distraction. some good options are writing, drawing, watching a movie, dancing - anything u enjoy!
be kind to yourself. it’s okay if u relapsed, or if u had a bad day, or anything else. treat urself gently. u wouldn’t be so harsh to a friend in ur situation. it’s gonna be okay
if u cant do all of these, it’s okay. there are better days ahead. this too will pass.
if anyone needs anybody. my dms are open for everybody. i’m here for each and everybody, ur not alone in this i promise. i love you
