Woke up terrified. Bodes well for the day

I feel really tired, everything is over stimulating me today like I'm having sensory overload, hate this feeling.

Also body feeling hurty so that's not helping.

just the most gentle music in the world

Ugh ugh ugh ugh. Hate that. Haircut tomorrow at least (long overdue) so i won't keep feeing my fucking hair

[–] Duenan@aussie.zone 4 points 5 months ago

I need a haircut too, maybe that's a next week job.

really hard to shake that mentality when you wake up with it. Extra special self care today. Buy that expensive coffee, put a nice cupcake with it.

I’m feeling like that today, too :-(

Wishing calming vibes for us both

Quick hack if you're caught in a flight or fight loop: tense every muscle in your body, all of it, hard as you can, really fucking go for it. You should be shaking from the effort. Hold for about ten seconds and then release

Your body basically just thinks it completed the fight or flight sequence and is out of danger.
