- play video games, especially calming ones like mystia's izakaya
- continue bingeing the game grumps grumplocke series, or basically any of their videos
- read a book or manga
- do some crafts, like building miniatures or making bracelets
- remember that you can always talk to your friends and family about what you're feeling, they're here for you
- listen to what mom and dad said: rely on them for a little while, they will always keep you afloat even when you feel like you're dying
- use some of the skills you're learning in dbt (remember the distress plan you made with your counsellor: step back, tip the temperature, distract yourself, and accept the circumstances no matter what)
- remember it's okay to cry, and it's okay to be mad
- most importantly, remember that you're still a good person, you're good enough, you haven't done anything wrong, and you'll be okay 💖
