@pachi: The protests rn are 100% justifiable but I can't help but think this is gonna usher in that second covid wave all the sooner b/c the police are determined to turn them into a riot instead of a peaceful demonstration

@Lilykin: yea im afraid of that too and like ppl like the LA mayor are withholding testing for entire communities bc of the protesting/rioting like . what the FUCK

i usually give myself time to mope when i need to, usually 1-2 days
like make sure i'm really processing and understanding what's happening, how/why it affects me, etc.
(make sure coping mechanisms are for coping and not running away from the problem)
like take it easy / it's ok to be a sad potato for a bit
afterwards i'm like ok, i need to get it together and take care of myself, so i'll set stuff up for the week:
- do a little workout before i shower (even 5-10 minutes is good!)
- set up plans to talk/video chat with friends, check in on friends who are more directly affected
- make sure i have everything i need (food, supplies)
- go for a walk if i have the energy
- get my sleep schedule together
- also i would really recommend this resource! Everything Is Awful and I'm Not Okay: questions to ask before giving up
- making sure i eat/hydrate/move/shower is a super helpful checklist
big tip i would recommend is to log out of social media when u need to!
i know people have different relationships to exercise but it's probably my main and most reliable source of like dopamine/serotonin/endorphins + chronic pain management currently

Leave him alone@xvz: Unfortunately my brain does not produce serotonin like it should. Woo bipolar and all that. Due to some stuff, I'll be without one of my medications. So the next seven days are going to be very very stressful for me.
Found some stuff to keep me going though. Rifftrax and making a flower crown for my new bjd.

Leave him alone@xvz: Got some tiny fake flowers my mom has, and braided them through a ring I made from some yarn tied around my current doll's head. Make sure it would be a good fit.

@Another Movie Addict: Cute!
Leave him alone^w^ thank you. I'm actually rather pleased with how it turned out. I can't wait for the new doll to get here. She's going to have a flower fairy crossed with like a dnd aesthetic.

ooo the flower arrangement is so nice ^^
do you make everything custom yourself?

Leave him alone@xvz: I try to make whatever I can by myself, since that's more fun and a lot cheaper depending on the thing. Like Makura (current doll) has a few sweaters that I knitted myself.
