Things to remember when you're feeling like crap

Dear 5-HT,

You've been feeling really crappy for the last week or so and I just wanted to make you a little 'reminder' list of things to do when you're feeling that bad, (cause you never remember where you leave your notebook!)

1. Get out of bed once a day.

2. Eat something

3. Have a shower every couple of days.

These three will make you feel heaps better in the long run, I promise you.

TAKE YOUR MEDS!!!! 😡 😡 😡 If only to stop withdrawal side effects.

Don't listen to what your head says, even if you think it's the truth.

And lastly, if it get's really bad.... go back to bed..... AND CALL YOUR DOCTOR!!!!

Anything else 'crazy' 5-HT should do???

Hi @Shaz51 @Coffeelover @outlander

What would you add to your own list of things to remember when things aren't going well.

Mine would be to go to the beach

It's usually such an effort, but it always helps without fail.

Shaz51 & NikNik, ah yes definitely that first sip of a fresh, hot cup of tea or coffee!

Enjoying being at home where you can utterly relax! Not worrying if the floor is newly vacuumed etc but just enjoying being in your space.

Soaking in the bath, I agree!!

Re: Things to remember when you're feeling like crap

HI @Shaz51, thanks for thinking of me. It's nice to know someone has.
I'm feeling quite a bit better, but I've had a bit of a messy few days.
My psych has a 6th sense and somehow knew I was unwell and called in the calvary. Which has been good as I'm feeling better, but the catt team was trying to get me committed, which wasn't nice to experience. But I'm feeling quite a bit better.
How have you been?
