Depression Tips

depression tips™

shower. not a bath, a shower. use water as hot or cold as u like. u dont even need to wash. just get in under the water and let it run over you for a while. sit on the floor if you gotta.

moisturize everything. use whatever lotion u like. unscented? dollar store lotion? fancy ass 48 hour lotion that makes u smell like a field of wildflowers? use whatever you want, and use it all over. 

put on clean, comfortable clothes. 

put on ur favorite underwear. cute black lacy panties? those ridiculous boxers u bought last christmas with candy cane hearts on the butt? put em on.

drink cold water. use ice. if u want, add some mint or lemon for an extra boost.

clean something. doesn’t have to be anything big. organize one drawer of ur desk. wash five dirty dishes. do a load of laundry. scrub the bathroom sink. 

blast music. listen to something upbeat and dancey and loud, something that’s got lots of energy. sing to it, dance to it, even if you suck at both.

make food. don’t just grab a granola bar to munch. take the time and make food. even if it’s ramen. add something special to it, like a hard boiled egg or some veggies. prepare food, it tastes way better, and you’ll feel like you accomplished something. 

make something. write a short story or a poem, draw a picture, color a picture, fold origami, crochet or knit, sculpt something out of clay, anything artistic. even if you don’t think you’re good at it.

go outside. take a walk. sit in the grass. look at the clouds. smell flowers. put your hands in the dirt and feel the soil against your skin.

call someone. call a loved one, a friend, a family member, call a chat service if you have no one else to call. talk to a stranger on the street. have a conversation and listen to someone’s voice. if you can’t, text or email or whatever, just have some social interaction with another person. even if you don’t say much, listen to them.

cuddle your pets if you have them/can cuddle them. take pictures of them. talk to them. tell them how u feel, about your favorite movie, a new game coming out.

Not a request I was just gonna ask how are how was your day and have you drank any water these days

🪶

Aw I appreciate it! My day wasn't too bad, I stayed in and recharged. I have been hydrating very efficiently! (⁠ ⁠╹⁠▽⁠╹⁠ ⁠)

(daily reminder. Drink water, stretch your limbs a bit and get a snack!)

*slams fists on table* wE NEED MORE TANG—

can u pls do hcs of tang with a clingy s/o that likes surprising him with kisses?? like y’know the vibe of that one post that’s like “if i had a lame ass boyfriend i would hype him so much” because i would literally listen to this man info dump about his nerdy lil facts all day 🧎‍♂️

YES YOURE RIGHT

Tang x GN!Clingy!Reader Romantic Headcanons

In terms of surprising him with kisses....please do it. He likes cheek kisses more than anything and he'll turn as red as a tomato

ALSO. If he's sitting there reading to himself, go up, push the book down a bit, kiss him, then walk away. It's amazing

He gets used to you after a while in the relationship--as in, he learns to expect your fun little appearances-- and he might begin to return them as well!

He really likes kissing the crown of your head. It's just the easiest place for him to reach when he's passing by!

Hype him up a bit when he's sharing information with you, or telling stories while you're both in Pigsy's. Pigsy will always warn you to not let Tang's ego get too big but you don't care

When he refocuses after infodumping and sees you looking at him with pure adoration in your eyes he honestly feels so loved and appreciated.

And if you ask him QUESTIONS ABOUT IT OR SHARE SOMETHING THAT YOU KNOW??? GODS HE'S ALREADY GONNA BE ON HIS WAY TO GET AN WEDDING RING

He appreciates you for really loving him as he is. 🥺

could I request for wukong and macaque (seperate or poly is fine!) x reader who is super physically affectionate? like they rlly enjoy cuddling or just random touches, and can get quite protective if the person they care about is ever in danger? ty!! and no worries if you don’t want to either haha

I'm feeling zesty so you can have both

Shadowpeach, SWK, and Macaque x GN!Affectionate!Reader Romantic Headcanons!

Shadowpeach - you have the combined force of two celestial monkeys to keep you company, so rest assured you’ll never be without at least a tail to hold. Most of the time what will happen is you’ll start out just doing your own things, then Wukong will stop by for a random hug or smooch but then he gets comfy with you(even if he’s in the way…he’s like a cat). Eventually Mac will come along and join in, and by then no one’s going anywhere for at least an hour. They love seeing you get all protective over them, even though they can definitely handle themselves just fine. Their favorite thing, though, is just laying down with you and chattering while grooming each other and you. It’s almost serene—these two terrifying beings are suddenly calm and purring as they aren’t causing chaos for once. 10/10

SWK - he’s very, very touch-starved so I think he’d vibe very well with you! He tends to pop up out of nowhere and kiss you for a little bit, before zooming off again— unless you stop him and insist that he stays. His absolute favorite thing is coming home after a long day of training with MK, getting into some comfy clothes, and then falling asleep cuddled up with you. He lets you do your thing being protective of him; all the while knowing that if something were to happen he would gladly take care of it. 10/10

Macaque - he is also super touch-starved but it will still take him some getting used to when it comes to receiving physical affection. But soon enough he finds himself looking forward to when you come around, because that’s when his face will be kissed ever so sweetly and his hands won’t be as cold as they usually are with you holding them. He’s extremely gentle with you when he gives affection simply out of habit. He also has a habit of retrieving you through a shadow portal, taking you back home, and wrapping you up in blankets with him so he isn’t lonely. It’s honestly cute, if it weren’t an inconvenience sometimes. Also, he is just as if not more protective over you than you are over him--see below comic 10/10

Love and hugs - Snake Anon

Aww thank you 🥺 love and hugs to you as well!!

This was really fun to write! Enjoy!

MK, Mei, Redson, and Nezha x GN!Werewolf?Reader Romantic Headcanons!

Redson - finds you adorable but will not admit it to your face. The first time you transform in front of them he freaks out a bit but then you turn back and she’s like ah. Once you properly explain how it works I think they’d rile you up on purpose because he has a lot of fun watching you get all excited and then boom! It’s a dog!! In a situation where you transform because you’re mad and Red is hurt bc of another demon, they hold a lot more respect for your other form because oh my gosh…that’s intimidating in a really cool way

Mei - AHHHH she’s obsessed!!! May or may not throw her sword while you’re in your wolf form so you’ll play fetch. Alternatively, taking power naps with each other while she’s in her dragon form and you’re in your wolf form>>>> anyways she no longer has to ask her parents about getting a puppy bc she’s got one <3 of course she loves you outside of your wolf form as well!

MK - loves seeing you transform and probably uses his powers to transform too so you guys can just have fun together! You make a great team this way :) and if you transform for a negative reason(like a lot of anger) he steers clear so he can let you just get it out. He loves you either way! If you don’t mind it, he might buy you a chew toy or two so you have something to do in your other form!

Nezha - very confused at first, but it’s not the strangest thing he’s ever seen, so he rolls with it. Not gonna lie I think once he gets used to it he’d definitely let you play fetch with his spear or use his fire wheels to chase you around. It’s just a really fun way for him to unwind with you and blow off some steam. You two make a good fighting team as well, and RIP to whatever demon decides to mess with Nezha and his partner—once the wolf shows up with an angry teenager it’s all over
