something about this video gets me thru the times when i don’t know what to do with myself: https://youtu.be/kXAv8RXmsrc?si=sEzFGI9QbGNpDZq_
jim carrey’s advice:
1. eat everything you see
2. if you start to spiral downward, turn the television on
3. change the pattern
4. have someone you know come up and smack you in the head
5. punch yourself in the leg
6. smoke. smoke as much as you possibly can.
i interpret these as:
1. just eat. nourish your body.
2. get out of your own head (tv is great, i use video games for this)
3. change. the. pattern.
4. and 5. stim!! and/or release your emotions! (don’t actually cause harm to yourself or others)
6. allow yourself to use whatever coping tools you have (if you already smoke, smoke. if you don’t, don’t start.)
idk how else to explain it, but for me, it works. hope this helps 🩷
