don't feel bad about indulging in stupid shit. i'm going gonzo for superheroes right now. they make me feel good and they make me feel like i can BE good and that's all that matters. it doesn't matter if it's embarrassing. indulge the fuck out of it

find something meaningful to do. anything. donation. volunteering. some creative project. reach out to comfort others. choose one thing you really fucking care about and make that your Thing. mine is SMI, specifically bipolar/schizophrenia. yours can be *anything*, just focus

i know it feels like you'll just be bringing people down or wasting their energy. don't do it. isolation is the power-sucker of all time. force yourself to reach out or say yes to someone else reaching out. FORCE IT if you have to, even if it's not a good time
