What's the greatest mental health tip you've gotten? - Video

never evaluate your life when you're tired. this is so true. ever notice things seem much worse at night? when worries seem at their worst the next morning, your brain can think of ways to fix them. and most times they aren't there the next day. if it's worth doing it's worth doing it badly. if you can't handle doing it perfectly to finish it half ass it, at least if you can't groom yourself due to depression, at least brush your teeth. if you can't beat the fear, just do it scared self care isn't always a bath and a hot chocolate. sometimes it's giving your head a little shake and doing what needs to be done, run the dishwasher twice. to put it simply, someone had revealed to their therapist that they felt really crappy about not having the energy to hand wash their dishes. the therapist suggested that they just put their dishes through the dishwasher twice. they point out that you're not really supposed to do that. but the therapist essentially shrugs and goes. who says you can't. you don't need to follow all these little rules. the patient takes their therapist's advice and runs the dishwasher twice. they also shower while lying down and put their folded clothes wherever they fit instead of in neat little sections. in short, you don't need to follow arbitrary rules. just complete tasks in whatever way is easiest for you. you can follow rules when you have the metal energy to do so.
