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.

Dozens killed as Israeli forces attack two schools in northern Gaza

Many hundreds of people are believed to have taken shelter at the two schools. in northern Gaza.

So you think Israel stopped at blowing up hospitals and refugee camps? Nah, they’re also blowing up schools. Schools.

Never stop talking about Palestine. They’re betting on people getting exhausted and desensitized to their atrocities.

I am VEEEEEERY tempted to rewrite the Dreamzz crossover with Ninjago and making it angsty.

reblog for larger sample size :)

I have come to debate.

Okay yes, Kai as the team medic would make sense. Not only does he have medical knowledge, she is protective of her teammates and he probably learned how to use medical supplies because he was a blacksmith.

But what about Zane and Pixal?

I seriously doubt Kai has enough knowledge on tech to be able to repair the two of them (especially Zane, because they die too much)

So I propose either Jay as the medic for the whole team, or he and Kai work together. Jay, like Kai, grew up learning how to make things and needed to learn how to use medicine and medical supplies. Plus Jay is a mechanic, which solves the Zane and Pixal problem.

(He/she for Kai, they/them for Zane and he/they for Jay, sorry about the confusion and how I worded it)

Ok so yesterday, I was scrolling when I found a poll, and it asked whether you cook your hotdog on the grill or in the microwave, and I didn't realize that was a big deal but I didn't join because....well,

I don't cook mine.

Like I just eat them out of the package (with a bun of course but still)

Is that weird or do other people do this too?
