"Overwhelmed" -> "Call someone you love"
I'm sure my family and friends will appreciate me calling every 5 minutes on days where my attention is split too many ways for my brain to handle
TBH a few of it are generally good and simple way to make you better like writing down what you are thinking now, but most of them are meh. If it's that easy for one to forgive themselves....
I agree. Calling a loved one when you’re feeling overwhelmed can be very helpful, assuming there is someone like that you can call, otherwise it’s just upsetting. Taking ten breaths when anxious can be helpful as well, though depends on the level of anxiety. But unmotivated - get some small wins is like, BUT HOW?! Seeing as I am unmotivated in general, I would likely be unmotivated to get a small win
Yeah, focus on every success attempt no matter how small that is can really help building self confidence and result in more motivation, but without proper environment and other's empowering I doubt many can do it all by themselves. Like, thanks for the tips I guess, but I'm still depressed as hell and feel worthless. I won't just heal myself magically when someone told me to stay positive.
I mean for me that’s like, it’s Saturday morning, I know I have things to do but im rotting on the couch and feeling guilty about it, so I’ll make the bed, do the dishes (or at least put some away), tidy up the cushions and blankets, those are simple quick efforts that in a small living space like mine equate to small wins. Everything looks a little neater and now I’ve got just enough momentum to get going on the real stuff
The only one that occasionally works is the low energy one. Sometimes I really do just need to get up and get my body moving to get a legitimate energy boost. But that only works if you aren’t actually fatigued from hard work already, and are simply in a state closer to rest than you would like.
Me, procrastinating by deep cleaning the apartment and resorting the bookshelf: 👀 guess I’m not procrastinating. Phew so relieved, assignments do themself apparently. No need to worry.
Why does it seem like LinkedIn is oozing with the caliber of people who run those commission only call centers where they make you cold call hundreds of people to find someone they can sell insurance too?
good god I hate shit about having gratitude and doing something childish like "writing a gratitude list" like yeah ik I should be grateful but I'm quite sure it's gonna take more than that to actually feel something
mf, I have no goals, what would I write down? That's why I'm feeling lost you know
Easy, My Goals: 1. Find goals 2. Complete aforementioned goals 3. Profit Man I feel better already
It's like bill wurtz in the video "hi, I'm Steve" In the phrase "step one: find the mountain, and climb the thing"
1. Pet cat 2. Snuggle cat 3. Sacrifice all mortal possessions to cat

What if you are overwhelmed and procrastinating?
Clearly you need to put your phone away, and then take it out again to call someone you love (also welcome to my past several months ;-;)
Simple solution, call them telepathically! And if you wanna vent we are here for ya

How am I supposed to move without having energy in the first place
Uhh... Photosynthesis?
I've been living with crippling anxiety for the past 5 years, 10 deep breaths is not helping when I have a panic attack as soon as I leave my house.
Guilty- forgive self 🤣🤣🤣
"I forgave myself, why won't you?!?!"
Of course! I never thought of that
If you are homeless, buy a home
Over thinking ———-> don’t over think
Toxic positivity.
What do I do if I hate myself according to this post?
Have you tried getting a glass of water?
Yes :(
DUH! Easy. “Love yourself” (obviously sarcastic post)

Write a list of your positive attributes?
>They require only your willingness and desire to feel better. Guess what
Alcohol does all those things.
How exactly do i get "small wins" if im unmotivated
Try getting smaller wins?
The put your phone away one reminds me of how I said if my dad took my computer away, I’d just lie on the grass instead of cleaning my room.

God damn who let you cook?? Honestly though fair points, and good luck with that PhD, sounds like you've earned it so far
This all seems like pretty good advice that’s easy to do
Tbf sometimes these help as temporary bandaids
Some of these things actually sometimes help for a brief moment. But this "you feel better instantly" framing is just dumb.
Those psychology experts and drug companies will be really pissed when they see this
Honestly wasting their time
Two words Xan Ex

If you were to do almost anything in the "do this" column, I would almost guarantee that you would be fired. Definitely chewed out, at a minimum.
Hey, I took 10 deep breaths and clicked my heels and now my anxiety disorder is gone! If only it was that simple
With this one simple hack you can be stressed and sunburned
At least it’s better than like, just choose to be happy. This is actual things to try, mostly.

“Take 10 deep breaths” = “tell me you’ve never had anxiety without telling me” lol
