Here’s how it goes:
- Get up late, feeling tired
- Brush and bathe
- Eat breakfast
- Lay on bed
- It’s noon
- Eat lunch
- Lay on bed
- It’s evening
- Bath
- Eat dinner
- Sleep poorly
That’s my entire cycle, since the last two years. No job, no social interaction, no outdoor activity. My eyes glued to the screen.
I’ve been there. I soooo get it. And as someone who has been there, I’ll tell you what I wish someone told me sooner: Try to find some way to get your heart rate up.
It sounds trite, but I swear there’s almost no better way to do it. I know how hard it is to start when you’re in a rut, but literally, 30 mins of elevated heart rate every day will change things for you. It wont happen immediately, or even over night. But change will come.
I believe in you. The fact that you’re posting about it means something.
Nothing but love from a stranger on the internet.
Thank you for your kind words.
