Are you existing in a depression nest right now?
Checking in on my depression nest buddies out there. If you're currently burrito-ed in bed or peeking out of the blankets like a couch goblin, keeping up with the mess is probably the last thing you want to do. However, if you can muster up a tiny bit of energy for a few minutes, taking care of your immediate environment or yourself a little really can make such a difference. Can you try one, part of one, or more than one of these?
- Clear some dishes/trash from the immediate area
- Take a shower and/or change your clothes
- Clear some stuff off the nearest flat surface (nightstand/coffee table/etc.)
- Change out your bedding
- Put 5 things near you away
- Eat something and have some water
If you can only do one or a small part of one, that's great! Every little bit helps you get through and makes things easier on yourself once you're coming out of it. Be kind to yourself and remember that taking care of yourself is important and worthwhile.
