@I_L_S_A 👉 Think of it like this: your mind and body are telling you something’s off balance. Even small adjustments in sleep, movement, routine, and support can start pulling you upward.
@I_L_S_A 5. Bigger picture:
If this has been going on for a while (weeks/months), it might be more than a passing phase—stress, burnout, depression, or anxiety can all make you feel constantly low. Talking with a professional (doctor, counselor, therapist) can be a game changer.
@I_L_S_A Reframe self-talk: Notice when you call yourself names (“I’m useless”), then replace with something factual (“I’m having a rough day, but I got out of bed”).
@I_L_S_A Be around people who energize you, not drain you (even if just a short call).
4. Mind & emotions:
Breathing / grounding: When you feel stuck in the “shite” loop, pause, inhale 4 sec, hold 2, exhale 6. Slows the stress response.
@I_L_S_A Limit doom-scrolling: Social media comparison makes people feel worse. Try boundaries with it.
3. Shift environment & input:
Sunlight first thing in the morning (proven to regulate mood and energy).
Music or podcasts that make you feel lighter instead of heavier.
@I_L_S_A 2. Break the mental cycle:
Small wins: Pick one tiny thing daily you can complete (making bed, finishing a glass of water). Progress boosts mood.
Journaling / brain dump: Write what’s in your head for 5 minutes—getting it out reduces the weight.
@I_L_S_A Sleep: Aim for 7–9 hours, roughly same time every night. Poor sleep alone can make you feel awful.
Food & hydration: Stable meals, enough protein, and water throughout the day help stabilize mood.
Movement: Even a 15-minute walk outside can change brain chemistry.
@I_L_S_A I hear you—it’s tough to feel like that all the time. There’s no one-size-fits-all fix, but here are some practical steps that often help people shift out of that constant “shite” feeling:
1. Check the basics first (your foundations):
Living in a middle-class family,where we grew with limitations,where basics are meant to be enough. Money talk is actually everyday talk. Where we try to find joy in simple things. We grew up early with responsibilities and many more.Still blessed bcz it gave us silent strengths.
