don't stay in bed.
get up, stretch your legs.
walk down the stairs
make yourself something to drink
you should probably avoid coffee
(but you don't)
so you have a coffee anyways.
watch anime.
watch it in subs (not dubs)
so that you really have to concentrate on what is going on
you have to read what they are saying
and you can't get distracted by other things
and look away or zone out
it's hypnotic
get in the shower
wash your hair, it's a mess
notice how much make-up runs down from your eyes
because you didn't bother to take it off properly
the night before
dry your hair.
use a brush and blow-dry it straight,
because it looks better like that
and then make sure you get dressed
wear clothes
not pyjamas
clear your living space
so that you're not looking at clutter
don't throw away cards from people
cards saying "well done" and "happy birthday"
with nice messages inside
display them on your desk so that you can look at them
and remember every now and then that
people do think about you
repeat
until you feel better
for longer
