Day 214: 7 month anniversary
I don't recognize my life anymore. I'm stuck in a painful, claustrophobic routine in which my dreams are shattered everyday in a 7monthslong nightmare
I can't believe what I've been through, I can't believe it's not over yet. Surviving isn't living

Woke up depressed bc "life is so unfair, why me, I can't see the end, what am I gonna do..." but I never let myself moan for too long. So, instead, Here's a thread with a list of things #longhaulers can do when feeling down. If you have any other ideas please let me know 1/
1 - Pet/play with an animal or 10' cat-video therapy
2 - Make a cup of tea/coffe & make it last.
3 - Do something for someone else. E.g. buy sb a gift "just bc"
4 - When was the last time you had a bath? Go get one
5 - Eat or drink something you really like & make it last 2/

11 - Throw yourself into a creative project. Paint, draw, clay molding... I'd 100% recommend Epoxy Resin! I took it up during these 7 months because it's highly entertaining & it's easy & effortless to do. Look it up! 4/

16 - If you can't get rid of your pain, make the most of it &add some more: It's time to wax-torture yourself! (or shave your beard), change bedding, do the laundry, call that person you've been meaning to..
Something your future self will say "well, thank you, it feels nice" 7/

17 - Make a list of ALL the things you love about yourself and MAKE IT RIDICULOUSLY LOOONG. E.g: I love my empathy, how easy I always laugh at everything, I'm more generous than most people, etc. Yes you can, don't go whiny "I can't"... Practice self-loving. It feels nice. 8/
18 - Call your mom/friend/partner and ask them to tell you a story, an anecdote or how is their day. What they'd like for Christmas or how they met their first love.
19 - Flirt with some other Longhauler
It's about time we create an APP for us the pain-loners. 9/
