so i have alexithymia (emotional blindness or challenges in recognizing, expressing, sourcing, and describing one's emotions) and i often dont realize why, whats causing me to feel that way, or even if its mental or physical shittiness. so here are things i try to do to reset.
so the first step is obviously realizing the feeling at first, is your brain making you feel bad about yourself? do you feel like theres no point in doing things? do you feel stuck? or has there been any drastic change in energy in a short time? these may look different for you, but learning to notice even something as small as do i feel Good or Bad, you dont need to get caught up in what specifically it is.
FIRST and foremost, medications. did you take your meds? vitamins? please do so if you can. if you've missed the time window that you are meant to or cant for another reason, no guilt please, its ok we all forget.
move! change locations. even if its just where you are sitting in bed from one side to the other and sit up if you can. i try to move to my desk chair. sometimes just sitting up can change the way you feel drastically.
this could also mean move as in take a walk around your room, stand up on your phone instead of laying down.
do a Task, or Activity. copy a journal spread from pinterst even if it takes like 3 hours. write some lists, make a bracelet, play a game. focus on something you like. very cliche advice i know but its great to allow yourself to do something you like.
get a snack/water. unfortunately hydration is important even tho its annoying. make it super cold, put some lemon or mint in there if you want. its all about making it a) more fun and b) different sensory experiences. if you are hungry go down a mental list of most to least effort meal and find what you can do (cook from sratch, add stuff to ramen, eat it plain, get a handful of nuts or fruits, etc)
open the curtains/blinds, let the outside in a bit. even if its dark out open them and look around and close again.
face feels gross? do some level of skincare, exfoliate your lips and put on some vasesline, brush and floss your teeth (love floss picks). if you have bangs wash them in the sink.
if weather + mental permits, go outside. even for 2 seconds to look at it
shower=full reset and rebirth. not a bath, a shower. let the water hit you and soak your hair. do as full of a shower as you can. use so much moisturizer (if you can) with a scent you love. sensory goodness is very helpful. this usually works for me to pull me out. often the reason why i feel shitty is actually just me not realizing my hair is dirty, or i need alone time, etc which is acheived by showering.
aligned with that, put on new clothes, either comfortable and lounge clothes that are good sensory, or you need a new fun outfit because you have been wearing the current one for too long and its irritating you in a way you dont notice.
clean something, same as the food go from most to least effort and find out what you can do. organize 1 drawer or your whole house. my go to is usually rearraging my bedside table top and drawer. because for me thats where i keep things like my journal, headphones, letters from friends, body butter, etc its a chance for me to help future me access this little self care station.
make your bed so you have a clean cozy place to lay and sit, unfortunately a made bed is more comfortable
in general, treat yourself like a littel guy, talk to yourself like a toddler even if it feels silly, the part of you that feels bad is basically a toddler throwing a tantrum tbh. silliness is often a precursor to feeling Good. these things feel so so hard but each time you do them despite feeling bad it will get easier i promise you, you will get good at what you practice so practice trying.
if all of these things seem too hard, or you cant do them, the main thing is thats ok too. and if you dont feel 100% better after doing these things, that is also ok. the truth is some days things will be hard and that is your body telling you to relax, or sleep, or that it just wants to have an off day. no day is wasted if you are still here to see it.
(a lot of these tasks can be made easier by doing prep when you are feeling Good, which is part of the reason why i made this list, but i might do another post on prep stuff. )
I’ve had on and off anxiety everyday for the past week after a big anxiety attack triggered it. I’m taking steps to understand anxiety and to do things good for my body and mind. However, sometimes it feels overwhelming and like I will never feel like my normal self again. I have my good moments but the anxious moments I have it’s like I forget who I once was before all of this anxiety. Any advice for dealing with an anxious or depression period? I normally find so much joy and beauty in life, but lately it’s been hard. But I am not giving up hope :)
I'm sorry you're experiencing that right now, I understand how heavy it can feel. All selves we have been before are still in us and we can be at peace again. You knew it once, you will know it again. I find myself in a similar state these past few weeks too. You have to hold some compassion for yourself and not judge yourself for feeling stuck. Know that it is temporary, as all feelings come and pass and come again. I have been listening to calming music/mantras throughout the day, trying to eliminate unnecessary stressors (like watching shows, scrolling, overstimulating environments, overbooking), I communicate with those that make me feel loved and heard, I take extra care of my body and myself, I try not to shut myself away and push through the anxiety to hang at my best friend's house or do something I know I'd find fun. I read more, I study something interesting, I journal like 5 pages a day, meditate, qigong, ground in my body, get fresh air. Not one thing is a cure all, but each thing is a gentle push to being in your body more, to being grounded, to caring for yourself, to see the light and sweetness that is around us and in the world. I try not to fall into the pit of despair that feels only a few steps away. I do not give up hope. I search for hope. And in that searching I do find it. You will too. <3
oh

And ease my task for me.”
