Workout For Daily Life

[starbright89]

depression tips™

shower. not a bath, a shower. use water as hot or cold as u like. u dont even need to wash. just get in under the water and let it run over you for a while. sit on the floor if you gotta.

moisturize everything. use whatever lotion u like. unscented? dollar store lotion? fancy ass 48 hour lotion that makes u smell like a field of wildflowers? use whatever you want, and use it all over. 

put on clean, comfortable clothes. 

put on ur favorite underwear. cute black lacy panties? those ridiculous boxers u bought last christmas with candy cane hearts on the butt? put em on.

drink cold water. use ice. if u want, add some mint or lemon for an extra boost.

clean something. doesn’t have to be anything big. organize one drawer of ur desk. wash five dirty dishes. do a load of laundry. scrub the bathroom sink. 

blast music. listen to something upbeat and dancey and loud, something that’s got lots of energy. sing to it, dance to it, even if you suck at both.

make food. don’t just grab a granola bar to munch. take the time and make food. even if it’s ramen. add something special to it, like a hard boiled egg or some veggies. prepare food, it tastes way better, and you’ll feel like you accomplished something. 

make something. write a short story or a poem, draw a picture, color a picture, fold origami, crochet or knit, sculpt something out of clay, anything artistic. even if you don’t think you’re good at it.

go outside. take a walk. sit in the grass. look at the clouds. smell flowers. put your hands in the dirt and feel the soil against your skin.

call someone. call a loved one, a friend, a family member, call a chat service if you have no one else to call. talk to a stranger on the street. have a conversation and listen to someone’s voice. if you can’t, text or email or whatever, just have some social interaction with another person. even if you don’t say much, listen to them.

cuddle your pets if you have them/can cuddle them. take pictures of them. talk to them. tell them how u feel, about your favorite movie, a new game coming out.

Yes! fanfiction is life

Show of hands: who else is surviving purely because of fanfiction right now? Because if I couldn't read about my favourite idiots getting stuck in different time periods, in ridiculous scenarios and then having maddeningly good sex, I wouldn't get up in the morning.

The world sucks. Thank you Archive Of Our Own writers. I truly love you.

[starbright89]

Yesss, like why do I have so much trouble doing anything

being mentally ill is so tiring even when you’re not doing anything like damn I’m just sitting here and my brain wears me out

[starbright89]

Does anybody else get legitimately worried when a fanfic author who was updating regularly just suddenly disappears with no warning? Like, is it a serious case of writers block or are they in a coma? Did they just up and quit? Was it me? Were my reviews not good enough?! Did they die 😳?! Were they kidnapped? Do I need to file a missing persons report? Excuse me officer, there’s been 13 weekly updates and now nothing for months! Find them! What’s their name?! Name!? I don’t know their name but they write 3k+ chapters and I need them safe and back in my life!

[starbright89]

Somedays the only thing that keeps me here living and breathing is the thought the next patient I take care of really needs me

I'd care if the person I reblogged this from committed suicide.

Reblog this from anybody. literally. ANYBODY. even if you dont like them or even know them that well. YOU COULD SAVE THEIR LIFE.

[starbright89]

Cap-IM Rec Week 2021 (Tropey Tues) - Fake Relationship

Tropey Tuesday, July 20: Come and rec works that have your favourite tropes for @cap-ironman rec week.

Tropes are great - in this list, I’m going to focus on a favourite: fake relationship!

Remember to show some love for your hard-working creators!

punch me in the mouth (with your mouth) by swisstae

Steve is in love with Tony. Has been, for years. And the thing is, he’s pretty damn sure Tony doesn’t reciprocate that interest because they’ve been on dozens of fake dates and he’s never once breathed a word about it. They just fake propose to each other to get free food. That’s all there is to it. Nothing more.

or: the one in which Steve is an oblivious idiot and likes punching people (and is a total sucker for Tony).

if i’m dreaming baby (please don’t wake me up) by @eachxnn

“What?” Is all Steve can answer before Tony darts round the desk with speed, landing in Steve’s lap. He reaches out with his hands to steady him, and is rewarded with a handful of Anthony Stark’s ass. He is currently holding the ass of a man who features as an answer on Wheel of Fortune. This cannot possibly be his life.

Or the Fake Boyfriends AU.

tear these old walls down by susiecarter

Steve didn’t like Tony Stark.

Stark probably didn’t like Steve, either. They’d gotten off on the wrong foot, and that was putting it mildly.

And having to pretend to be a civilian Stark was dating, as cover for trying to save Stark’s life while Iron Man was busy with a SHIELD mission, obviously wasn’t going to help.

tomorrow can wait (come whatever) by @stovetuna

Steve and Tony are photographed mid-battle, which is par for the course. By the time they get home, the whole world thinks they’re engaged, which is…not. But it’s not a big deal—they’ll figure things out eventually.

come build a home out of me by @maguna-stxrk

Steve clears his throat.

“What if I went with you?” he asks nonchalantly, like his heart isn’t threatening to beat out of his ribcage.

Tony blinks a few times, looking at Steve, his mouth ajar. “As a— As my date?”

Check One by JenTheSweetie

Steve has an annoying best friend. Tony has an elaborate plan. Sam has allergies. Bucky has no idea what’s about to hit him.

Come Save Me by @hollyandvice

Tony convinces Steve to come to a charity gala with him. Someone tries to take the supposedly vulnerable heroes out of play. Shenanigans ensue.

diastolic pressure (in between heartbeats) by firebrands

“Steve and Tony have been fake dating for a while, but everyone else thinks they’re *really* in love. When a mission goes terribly and Tony is presumed dead, Steve realizes he’s in love with Tony and Dramatic Shenanigans Ensue.”

Time Can But Make It Easier by thistlethorns

Tony and Steve were once best friends. Eight years out of college, they meet again at work and end up having to fake a relationship to get out of a messy situation.

Love was made for me and you by RossKL 

“Since when does Steve Rogers drink?” Tony teases. He watches Steve getting closer, stopping only when his body is pressed up to Tony’s side.

“It’s iced tea, Tony.” Steve smiles. His hand wanders down Tony’s spine. “You know I don’t drink on the job,” he finishes, hand resting on Tony’s hip. Holy shit.

There’s Absolutely Nothing Romantic About This Getaway by @the-vorkosigan

Still at odds with each other, Steve and Tony go on a secret mission. The pretend relationship is not a part of it, really; it starts off as a stupid joke, but it becomes progressively more difficult to wriggle out of it.

any other way of loving by @brandnewfashion

In which Steve is bad at dating, Tony isn’t, and neither of them are as subtle as they think.

And if you guys don’t mind, here’s a self-rec:

We’re Going Off-Script: Steve needs help in the dating department. Tony is happy to help out, because he’s a very good friend. That’s definitely the only reason.

Hope you guys enjoy the recs, and stay tuned for more! Here is my tag for previous years’ rec lists.

Midnight in Montgomery is by Alan Jackson , who is amazing!

Everyone may *think* they hate country music, but when Jolene, Before He Cheats, Take Me Home Country Roads, or Life is a Highway comes on, everyone is suddenly a liar.

[starbright89]

I love this so much... I just need a way to use it in real life.

The bar was so low it was practically a tripping hazard in Hell, yet here you are, limbo dancing with the devil

the Non Graduation

So I ended up failing my mental health class and had a break down after. I am becoming better at not thinking it was a big "F" failure but a bump in the road. But next week is graduation. Don't get me wrong I am super proud and happy for my classmates and want to celebrate with them. But this week is going to be feel sorry for myself and mope week. Because it sucks, I could have be there with everyone else but my teacher didn't think I deserved to pass and was not open to options that would have let me. I haven't heard if I join back up in August yet. This year will feel like a waste if I don't finish but my will sucks at the moment.
