Self care checkpoint!

Listen to your body, take a second to feel what you're missing/what you need rn.

If you need any of the following:

A drink (not just water, tea also works, as does juice, if it tastes good it'll be easier to drink)

A snack

A proper meal

To take your meds (please)

A nap

A good talk with a friend

A hug

A walk outside

A stretch (especially you artists out there)

Some exercise (yes I hate it too, yes it's still good to get now and then)

Cuddles with your pet (if possible/appropriate)

Then try and get any of those you need.

I care about you random stranger, I want you to be good to yourself.

And if you can't do all of these things, or any of them, just make sure you still love yourself. It's hard to exist sometimes but it's worth the effort.

doomscrolling is not activism

doomscrolling is not activism

doomscrolling is not activism

"don't look away" is a meaningless phrase. who are you benefiting by inundating yourself with misery porn?

DO something about things you care about. Go to a protest for something you believe in, if you can. Donate money to a cause if you have it to spare. Volunteer your time to help people if you have the energy. Write a letter to your political representatives if that's something you can do. These are meaningful ways to try to make change in the world.

And then? don't feel bad about insulating yourself from horrible news. Don't make yourself look at images that make you feel sick. Don't read endless things that depress you. Because frankly it gets harder to actually do the more you doomscroll. Reading constantly about things you can't change because they're happening at a systemic level or on the other side of the world is paralyzing. It makes you less able to help where you can.

I'm not saying be willfully ignorant. I'm not saying pretend horrible things aren't happening. I'm saying don't destroy your mental health going in-depth and cycling through horror after horror on your phone. I'm saying there is no virtue in making yourself experience other people's traumas because mere awareness is not activism. you inflicting suffering on yourself is not activism.

doomscrolling is literally sapping your energy and focus away from doing anything useful to help other people. you can burn yourself out without ever lifting a finger by exposing yourself to all the bad news in the world and who does that help? no one.

Even if you're well into your 30's, 40's, or beyond.

Even if you were sure yesterday.

Even if you're not out.

Even if you're married, or in a long-term relationship.

Even if you have kids.

there’s no rush; you’ll figure things out eventually
