Here’s how it goes:

  • Get up late, feeling tired
  • Brush and bathe
  • Eat breakfast
  • Lay on bed
  • It’s noon
  • Eat lunch
  • Lay on bed
  • It’s evening
  • Bath
  • Eat dinner
  • Sleep poorly

That’s my entire cycle, since the last two years. No job, no social interaction, no outdoor activity. My eyes glued to the screen.

    I’ve been there. I soooo get it. And as someone who has been there, I’ll tell you what I wish someone told me sooner: Try to find some way to get your heart rate up.

    It sounds trite, but I swear there’s almost no better way to do it. I know how hard it is to start when you’re in a rut, but literally, 30 mins of elevated heart rate every day will change things for you. It wont happen immediately, or even over night. But change will come.

    I believe in you. The fact that you’re posting about it means something.

    Nothing but love from a stranger on the internet.
