I switch my schedule so that all chores are done in the morning or night. If it’s really bad, I rinse off in the shower lowering the temp slowly until it feels too cold. Lots of water and crystal light. And I snack on cucumbers.

Lists are my friend. My partner and I both go through depressive episodes and are supportive when that happens. Last year I made a couple lists: things that have to happen once a year, seasonally, monthly, weekly. On top of that, lists for when I’m feeling good and when a depressive episode happens.
It’s basically a “what can fall to the wayside?” list.
So, when I struggle to get up and do anything, I force myself to get up each day for a couple things: I must brush my teeth in the morning and at night at least, I must do one thing that used to bring me joy (could be a puzzle, revisit a tv show, etc), and I must do one small chore (put some dishes away, wipe the bathroom sink, check the mail).
It’s all just stuff to try and fight without losing even more energy.
Everyone is different though. I hope you find what works best for you.
Loved my 3ds. It helped me get back into gaming regularly. I had weird guilt when I tried to sit down at a console or pc to play, thinking I should use my time more wisely, but was able to spend hours on Animal Crossing and then other games.
I got introduced to the Fire Emblem series through it and loved them. Although I never finished Shadows of Valencia. One day, I’ll get back to it.
I also learned that Resident Evil, while awesome, is not for me to play lol.
Happy birthday! I have two options I default to for my birthday. Either a big breakfast for dinner or what I call Nostalgia Dinner. Sliced cucumbers and tomatoes with salt and pepper on the side, four vegetables (always butter or Lima beans, green beans, collard greens, black eyed peas, etc) and a small pork chop.
Baldur’s Gate 3. I’ve never played anything like it, so I’ll be on the lookout for more games once I finish with it. That’ll probably be awhile since I can see myself doing a few playthroughs. Right now have a solo campaign and a multiplayer one going.
And in my attempt to get off social media some, I’ve gotten back into Slay the Spire.
Sounds delicious! It was also cool to hear about the, um, extra bits and how they'll be used. I'd never heard the feet could be used like that.
Yup. Got rid of Netflix a few months ago and got rid of Hulu live about a month ago.
Didn’t expect to see an article about pro wrestling on Beehaw.
As a sad little addition, I think the last time there was talk about an attempt to unionize was in the lead up to AEW forming five years ago.
It’s really rough for a lot of indie talent, like the article says. I’ve bought merch of injured wrestlers just to find some small way to maybe help.
