something i highly suggest doing whenever you find yourself asking “why do i feel like shit?”

what time is it? should you be sleeping? yeah? okay gn

have you had anything to drink today? yeah? how about water? enough water? probably not, go drink a glass of water or at least some sort of liquid that you can stomach

have you adequately eaten or have you been a fool and only eaten a bit of cold leftover pasta and half a spoonful of coconut ginger rice? go eat dumbass

have you had enough social interaction to satisfy your general needs? no? go text a friend or talk with ur parent or sibling or whoever

m e d i c a t i o n s ? ? ? ? ? ?

clean urself, u gross little being. that’s not a question for a reason.

and then i generally find out the root of the problem/answer to my initial question and voila, i’m not feeling as shitty

or basically the “idiot’s guide to not dying every other day” because ya know you’d be surprised how close i’ve come to death *finger guns*

it’s ok to cut toxic people out of your life. you deserve better than them.
