ik it sounds cheesy but the best thing that’s helped me has been writing one small thing i liked about each day. i don’t like the concept of “gratitude journaling” bc it makes me feel guilty for being unhappy in an objectively good life, so instead i like to keep track of small joys. even if it’s just the way a sunbeam hits the carpet or the sound of my cat breathing or the smell of rain. then i get to look back on them and get excited for the ones i have yet to experience

This 😭 like I sometimes do stuff that I like. But I really really really like sleeping. The insomnia book I’m reading says that not having a consistent sleep schedule is part of why I’m exhausted all the time, so I’m trying to sleep 8 hours every night but holy shit wtf am I supposed to do for the other 16 hours then

I didn’t mean to reply to ur comment, just the post. I’m sorry that fuckass man is being a problem :( it’s also bad advice lmfao, it doesn’t consume much time and makes you waaaaayyyy sleepier (for me it does, at least)

I fixed my insomnia (was sleeping from 10 to 7am) and the depression actually got so much worse when I realized how much time I was wasting 😭😭😭😭The grass aint greener….

Oh my bloodwork is uhh 😅 not looking great atm, my TSH and cholesterol and red blood cell count are way too high, but I’m working w my doctor to figure out why. And I’m definitely gonna request a sleep study next time I see him 😭 both my parents have sleep apnea so I figure it could be that + I feel like that’s the least scary option 🙂‍↕️
