@autism101@actuallyautistic@rubenerd In the thick of depression, I’ve learned to take it really slow. That the only thing I need to do is breathe. Sometimes even that is challenging. Luckily it’s a reflex. If I managed that for an entire day, I’ve accomplished something. Everything else is optional.
When I manage to eat something, it’s an accomplishment. When I take a couple of steps outside, it’s an accomplishment. Allowing myself to be “broken” and not struggle against what currently is.
