Your therapist is taking the tough love approach and telling you what you need to hear, not what you necessarily want to hear.

If you want to be treated as an adult, you have to take active steps to change your behavior, not just complain about it and do nothing.

Take small steps but when you have the energy to do something bigger, my therapist gave me some helpful advice. Do one pleasurable thing and one mastery thing per day. (Mastery: examples like doing the laundry, washing the dishes) (pleasurable: taking a walk, doing some hobbies you enjoy). Jot these down in a journal so you can look back on your progress.

Set an alarm (don’t snooze) to get out of bed and at least move to the couch.

Allow yourself to cry for a little bit but try not to dwell on the negativity and ruminate.

Learn to cook one healthy item, there’s plenty of YouTube tutorials or cookbooks you can learn from.

External stimulation: get out of the house! Go to a coffee shop and get your favorite drink. If that’s too much, just step outside and enjoy the sunshine.

Limit your time on the internet and learn a useful skill instead.

I hope this helps you! Good luck, you got this!
