    Sleep, music or food usually works wonders.

    I have a lot of big squishmallows in my bed. Ill pile em up and collapse into bed with a double box worth of Mac and cheese w extra cheese, and sometimes ill grill myself a steak too. Then I lay in bed and I cry and watch a movie . Maybe something from my childhood that I remember really loving, as a gift to my inner 13 year old

    I know that’s not a healthy coping mechanism! But it’s a fun one!

    Movement; a walk in nature, exercising, cleaning my place, drawing, cooking, baking, writing. It also helps me to remember that thoughts pass if you allow them too and that you needn’t hold onto a thought just because it ‘feels’ weighty. If you can get into the habit of doing things when you don’t feel like doing them, the next time you’re feeling too emotionally bogged down to do anything you can remind yourself that you’ve been in that position before and were capable of doing hard things anyway.

    I don’t I accept my mood and stay there with it, trying not to feel it or fixing it makes it worse and does not allow me to let it out.

    Is awful but we also have to learn to live with “bad emotions” they are also valid

    When I’m sad for no reason, I usually take a hot shower, play some jazz or chill music, and just let myself feel.. I’ll cry if I need to, then watch a romcom or anime in bed. I’ve learned not to fight it too much, just being soft with myself helps a lot

    Taking a little nap.

    I wake up refreshed and I can tackle the problems bothering me with a clearer and more alert head

    I dye my brows, do a long facial routine, deep clean my teeth, whiten them while watching a show or movie! If I can’t feel good on the inside, I force it on the outside!

    Hot bath, matching jammies, and an early bedtime.
