doomscroll check! are you doomscrolling? if yes, please find something healthier to do instead. it could be productive, it could be fun, it could be pure bodily maintenance, it could be watching paint dry. i'm cleaning my room, getting supplies ready for my classes that start tomorrow, working on some crafts, and taking snack breaks. i'm hoping that between all those i'll be unable to find time to doomscroll as well.

#no shame if you are doomscrolling. i understand the temptation #which is why i'm giving myself Activities to do #if you can find an activity to do that will help you to at least take a break from scrolling then that's good!#even if you end up going back to it later. which maybe you won't! since doing things tends to beget more doing things #now that i've started cleaning i'm on a bit of a roll so i'm not as tempted to get back to The Horrors #(i'm only typing this out cuz i'm taking a snack break right now)#its harder to be tempted into a downward spiral of Doom if you've got folded socks or played a fun game or went on a walk #or whatever the hell else activities you get up to!#just. idk. the world can be scary and there sure is a lot of news coming out #its good to be informed but there's a difference between that and just making yourself sick from stress #which is not gonna make you prepared for anything. but giving your brain some joy and your body some energy? that helps #even if shit goes south tomorrow (HIGHLY unlikely for me) i'll have an easier time packing my bags if my clothes are folded #and i'll have energy to run if i make sure i'm well-fed and well-rested today #idk if i'm making any sense. whatever #good luck y'all and please be kind to yourselves <3 #snack is done and dryer chime just went off so i'm gonna go fold things now byyyyyeeeeee
