Depression, anxiety, lack of motivation but i have overcome them many times on a daily bases. Takes alot of practice and grounding techniques to take over your brain and show it who’s boss
Do you find it hard to shower and tidy room?
Yes definitely, before the virus and before i got diagnosed with osteoarthritis i pushed myself to workout so i could get extremely sweaty and dirty. So then it would trigger my overthinking of how i smelled bad which triggered my voices to tell me the same thing which motivated me to shower daily. Now its become a habit that i shower daily sometimes twice a day.
My room was a really tough one, it took me years to finally realize a better tidy room would actually help me feel better. So one day when i felt energized and motivated i went out and bought a new color to paint my room. When i got back home i started packing my things and moving out my bed and shelves. The following day since i had no bed in my room it motivated me to paint the room as i planned. I painted it a very light but not white gray. Changed my bed sheets to a matching light gray color and curtains a little darker. When i put everything back i let my OCD take over and organized everything very well. Doing that i realized within the first week that the brightness in my room made me feel happy instead of depressed. So i made it a daily routine that on Mondays no matter how late or early i clean my room.

Not that quickly actually took years of therapy and practicing grounding techniques. Trust me there where many times i wanted to quit. It took support from my family and people on here to realize that the life i really wanted wasn’t impossible to make come true!

@Longhorn21 thank you for sharing your successes here.
How is the poetry coming? I wrote one today about how awful I was feeling. Now I’m trying to write a poem about how my favorite band makes me feel.

@ATARI it’s Akron/Family. I love them like a lover. Their live shows are greater than sex. They’re my spirit band and bonafide members of the beardoise. 10 out of 10 would die for them!
Hmm.

Ya’know Hemp Smokes, Are Ok
I kinda wore myself out on In Rainbows. It’s a pretty great album, but not perfect like Akron/Family

What Got You into Akron/Family?.
2005 in Berkeley. I lived in a dump and loved a boy named Mike. I ate borrowed bread and greens and hung out with a hippie biologist I had met traveling. I sat underneath my loft bed in the closet I lived in and sang Akron/Family’s self titled debut at the top of my lungs while they blasted dance hits across the street. Telegraph Ave was paces away. I wish I had been into poetry back then.
