you are not a wasteland you just need ibuprofen and a hot bath and a shower and a nutritious meal and some water and some fresh air and to do something productive and to do something creative and to do something that takes physical exertion and to do something social
it’s a lot you don’t have to check off every box every day it’s impossible but you have to know what you need even if you can’t give it to yourself and then you have to pick one thing that is doable and give yourself that and if you still believe you’re a wasteland then pick the second most doable thing and keep going and at some point either you will feel better or you won’t but at least you just did like three things that were good for you which is proof that you are not a wasteland even if you still feel that way do you really believe yourself about it as much as before
