In case you forgot, too
This works for me:
I can get you a 12 hour Oblivion review, or the infamous 20 hour Skyrim retrospective: Act I and Act II
Idk how I could east sleep and shower all at the same time but I’m open to suggestions lol.
Iirc there was a subreddit called ShowerOrange. I suggest you use a seedless one and cut the orange into fourths first so you don’t have to bite through the skin, but leave the skin on for that burst of scent.
Wash and rinse yourself first, then CHOMP into that orange while the warm water runs over you from the back. Squeeze the rind to scent the steam.
After eating the orange, close your eyes and turn facing the water, letting it wash the orange droplets away along with your cares and sins, standing there in a dream state until you start to run out of hot water.
No no, part of the magic of shower orange is digging your fingers in and ripping the orange in half, then mashing the ripped halves into your face. But yes, seedless works best.
Advocating for using eating as a coping mechanism during times of distress is a shitty idea.
I don’t really think that’s what this is saying but maybe I’m biased. For me, between depression and ADHD eating is something that’s easy to forget to do and certain emotions definitely become stronger when you fail to eat.
That’s an interesting different perspective. See, I saw it and thought it meant like comfort eating - which I mean if you’re hating people several times a day, you’re gonna end up being perfectly spherical.
But, like you say… It could be from not /forgetting to eat, like a hangry and eat a snickers “you’re not you when you’re hungry” situation.
Interesting, I can see it from both ways now - the beauty of good discussion.
I have both of those issues as well and I know how worthless this sounds for you right now: counting my calories and having a good eating routine helped me get healthy. It’s nice that my hyper fixation is focused on my wellbeing right now.
That can easily spiral into an ED. Be careful. My gf went down that rabbit hole once.
These aren’t coping mechanisms that it’s trying to describe, it’s a cartoon version of a checklist for those with poor interoception. Basically, it’s saying if you’re feeling the feelings in column A and you don’t know why, it’s likely you’ve forgotten to fill a bodily need in Column B: Fatigue makes you more sensitive to criticism, Hunger raises your aggression, a failure to do Self-Care can lead to lessened feelings of self-worth.
100%. If you’re feeling all pent up and you hate everyone - get some fresh air. Sit outside, go for a little walk if you can. Nothing massive, just up and down the street, around the block will suffice.
Man, I am going to get so fat. Eating 24/7 is going to be rough.
When am I getting any shit done with all the sleeping, eating, and taking showers?
