gharles:

where is the LifeHacks for depressed people tbh

they’re all like “don’t catastrophise!” and “practice mindfulness” and stuff which is fine but where are the genuine “make functioning so much easier” LifeHacks for people who can’t get out of bed

like there is such a market for that

“set several very annoying alarms at different places in your room so you literally have to get up to turn them off! when you get up to turn them off, turn the kettle on so you’ll get up again when that shit starts boiling! oh, what do you know? now there’s fucking coffee!”

“set some more annoying as shit alarms at meal times to remind you to eat food!”

“don’t do that mindfulness Adult Colouring Book bullshit, those tiny meticulous designs are a bitch designed for people who don’t panic attacks about what colour shirt to wear. instead, buy some early childhood colouring books and some thick fucking pencils or textas and focusing like a motherfucker on not going out of the lines like you’re three fucking years old again and watch yourself become immersed so quick you forget to be hyperventilating and crying”

“just buy some fucking paper plates when you can’t do dishes! who’s gonna tell on you?”
