Some days you just gotta do like a house cat. Eat sleep wash rinse repeat. Don’t lick your own butt tho. You’ll pull something, probs. Oh and take your meds, have some water, and moisturize. Those are important too.

Guess what? You still have a few hours today to do something really weird if you haven’t already. Howl at the moon. Go full Whitman— do a joyous yawp. Whatever tickles your Buddha. But make sure you took your meds. Have water. Moisturize.

You’re the sprinkles on the cupcake. The edible glitter in the omelette. Yeah. That’s how you make omelettes. You deserve to live your best life so take your meds and hydrate and moisturize something.

You are wonderful and deserve kindness (especially from yourself) so do something that makes you feel loved today, even if it’s just remembering your meds and having some water.

If you didn’t do something amazing today just remember you’re pretty amazing all by yourself. No trying required. Take your meds, have some water, moisturize a thing. You know as a treat.

My toxic trait is telling people to take care of themselves when I’ve been drinking nothing but diet Dr Pepper, having too many naps, and twizzlers for dinner. Don’t forget your meds and have some water tho! It’s important.

What’s the dog equivalent of a cat call? Because Simcha just experienced that on walkies—there he was minding his own business having a wee and some Pibble in a Kia’s hanging his head out of the back window barking his fool head off. He was much confused.

I’m convinced that more people would break into spontaneous song if they could stick to a rhyme scheme. And carry a tune. And, you know, have music cause a capella is intimidating. Take your meds. Have water, your voice thanks you.

You should be really proud of yourself. You are working on being the best version of you possible and that’s really hard. It’s okay if you’re not perfect all the time. But take your meds. Drink water. Remember to moisturize. <3

Make good choices today. Take your meds and drink some water. Sometimes meeting your friends even though it’s cold outside is a good idea because brain chemistry. I’m proud of you!

I’ll bet you did something great today, huh? Little secret—it’s okay if that great thing was eating cheese straight from the can. You’re making your own best choices. Be sure to take your meds tho, and have some water. Good choices.

This is your reminder that you’re really important and you deserve to be fulfilled. Sometimes that means rest. Make sure you took your meds, have some water, and moisturize before bed. You deserve good things.

Were you good to you today? Maybe you took a nap, maybe you took a shower, I know you knew better than to make a deal with a hapless but weirdly attractive stranger, cause that never ends well. Hey, you took your meds! Drink something too.

I bet you did at least one thing you can be proud of today. Meds? Moisturizer? Water? Any of the above is a win and more than one is a super win. So there’s that.

Your worth isn’t determined by your work output or how useful other people find you. You have worth because you exist and you are you. So take care of you. Take your meds. Drink some water. Rest if you need too. Moisturize. You are loved.

You are doing amazing things right now. You just cleaned your glasses, right? Guess how it turned out—AMAZING right? So keep it up and take your meds and drink some water and moisturize before bed. You’re gonna rock tomorrow too.

I hope you had a good day today and if you had to say “fuck it”, it was with joyful vengeance. Oh and that you remembered your meds and had some water.

Don’t forget that you are so much more loved than you realize, and people will show up for you when you need them. It’s really true. So take care of yourself. Meds, water, moisturize, any order you want. You got this.

My brain is so interesting, literally nothing has happened but someone at work was like “hey check the updates to the thing you did and sign off” and now my entire body is like “I do not like the cone of shame” for reasons. Like WHAT even is that?

Remember what’s for you is going to find you whether you’re looking for it or not. So be ready so you don’t gotta get ready. That means taking meds, getting hydrated, and moisturizing something. You know, probably.

OI! YOU! RIGHT THIS FUCKING SECOND OKAY: relax your jaw. I know. I KNOW. Release your shoulders. I SEE THE NEWS. Breathe. Get up and drink some water. Walk your apartment. Take your fucking meds you’re not missing today, okay?

Daily reminder that you’re pretty great and anybody who says otherwise is selling an mlm and needs you to be needy (this goes for that voice in your head too). So fuck them. Live your best life. Take meds, hydrate, and moisturize. Do it now.

Being honest about your feelings is hard and if someone didn’t respond the way you wanted you didn’t make a bad decision. You deserve support. Support yourself— take your meds. Have some water & moisturize. You’re doing great!
