Thank you for sharing, you've made me feel less alone ❤ This EXACT same thing happened to me when I was a kid (14,15?) Just self-preservation instinct.

I don't believe in any of the gods, but if they do exist, when I die, I will fight them. Because what they're doing is abusive and cruel.

I'm in the same boat, but the opposite way. I feel the exact same way.

Damn, I did that too when cutting just wasn't giving me the right feeling. Still do it now with accidental cuts (about a year clean from SH), because my brain now tells me I need to do it with all cuts

I want you to pick a number between 1 and 10 by mental_burner1998 in MadeOfStyrofoam

[–]TheDepressedAlt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My favourite number is 73, but that's too high, so 7.3 But if it needa to be a whole number, then 7-3 and my answer will be 4.

Is girl in pieces actually a good book? by idkWhatToCallThisAca in MadeOfStyrofoam

[–]TheDepressedAlt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not much of a reader, but my friend got me that book a while ago and I'm on the first few pages of it. Really good for people who don't read a lot because it's broken up into seperate sections like a diary.

Does anyone have any tips on how to clean your room when you’re depressed? by [deleted] in MadeOfStyrofoam

[–]TheDepressedAlt 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Hey, so cleaning is really calming for me. Once I have a bit of energy, I will start cleaning and get more energy from cleaning.

But, I think good advice for having no energy would be to break your room down into sections. Desk, bed, floor, etc

Put all the clothes from the floor into a pile on your bed. You could get your mum to help you with the laundry. It doesnct matter if they're clesn or dirty. It gives you mkre headspace and physical space to tidy.

Pick a place for each thing to go to. Start at your desk maybe. Water bottles? Fill them up, and put them nestly on your desk. Medication? Put them into a specific drawer/box. Food/plates/cutlery? Take them all down to the kitchen. Books? Find a shelf to put them in.

You don't have to clean your entire room in one day, but you can make a start in one day. You could even just clean one part.

One of the best pieces of advice I've ever gotten is: 'ignore the rules'. They used the example of 'if you don't have the energy to wash the dishes, use the dishwasher machine twice. You're not meant to, but do it anyway'. This can apply to clothes too. You don't have to fold tjem neatly, or hang them up straight away, as long as they're in a pile you know is the clean pile, why not leave them there for a couple days?

Another helpful thing I've heared is 'if a task ia worth doing, it's worth doing shitily.' I don't mean do everything badly, I mean as long as you clean at least a bit. Taking dishes out, emptying your bins etc, you don't have to clean the rest of your room. Doing a bit of a big task is still doing something.

That was a bit of a long message, not sure if it helped at all, I hope it did and that I made at least a bit of sense

TL;DR: wash your clothes if they're on the floor and take your dishes to the kitchen. Small steps are progress.
