-Ask yourself the last time you drank some water. Drink a few sips even if it wasn’t long ago. Coffee doesn’t count (neither does soda unless it’s the only option)
-When was the last time you ate? Get a small snack if able.
-Are ANY of your clothes too tight or uncomfortable? This includes socks, headbands, hats, and shoes.
-Stretch! Pop those shoulders, arch that back, straighten those legs. It Helps.
-If you happen to stim, do it! Do whatever feels right!
-Look for sounds, smells, etc. That are bothering you.
-Get your headphones and put on whatever music makes you feel happy/good/energetic.
-Loosen your shoulders, take some deep breaths. Drop your head and loosely roll your head. Try to relax as many muscles as you can.
-Close your eyes for a second.
-Did you take your meds (if you have them)? Do you need to take a Tylenol, ibuprofen Etc.?
-Are there allergens in the vicinity, are there any allergy medications you need to take?
-Breath deep.
I am by no means a professional and I don’t know what could be causing it but I know that these are kind of helpful. I’m not you and you aren’t me so these might not work. If the feeling bad is medical attention worthy, these might not help.
I understand what you mean entirely. When I was going through basic training I found myself almost constantly daydreaming about some past experience with my family or back home. I remember trying to express the feeling to others – how those sorts of thoughts seemed to push themselves into your head on their own over and over again and last uninterrupted until something loud enough snapped your attention elsewhere. I think I even wrote about it in a letter back home to my parents, although I could have dreamed that as well. It hasn’t stopped yet and I think being away from home has managed to multiply it extensively.
That we are lucky enough to enjoy remembering our earlier years means that those years were probably very good. Just don’t let yourself believe that the present is all bad. In ten years you will look back with the same feelings, and there will always be some impending responsibility or event that you feel you aren’t ready for. Life is exciting and is dynamic because of this. Time is constantly moving away from where you are now, so try your best to realize that there are sweet and good things going on in your life at this moment that you’re most likely overlooking. I often feel crushed under the weight of my current dilemma, but then I recall all of the unique and beautiful people I’ve been lucky enough to meet because of it, and I realize that those things are what should be focused on rather than the fear and the worries of what’s to come. Hopefully you can learn to do this to and gain from it in the same way I have. Have a lovely evening ❤
my brothers share special interests and my favorite thing to do is walk in a room and be like “hey guys can you tell me about the mariana trench” and then sit there for an hour while they both infodump to me about the ocean it’s extremely entertaining
and my parents are always like “oh my god why would you do that” bitch. I want to learn about the ocean and these two thirteen year old boys r my most trusted source

I mean, I could google questions I have about medieval weaponry and horsemanship, but on the other hand I could message my sister the simple statement “have question about historical saddles” and get both a phone call and a comprehensive 3 page google document within an hour
Seriously, if you know someone who has a special interest you’d like info about, go ask them! It costs zero money, you make them happy, and you learn way more than a basic google search would tell you.
me as a writer: Oh no I can’t write that, somebody else already has
me as a reader: hell yes give me all the fics about this one scenario. The more the merrier
This one is so hard to accept. Reblogging to knock that into my brain.
Me as a writer: I feel like I’m repeating myself, I’ve already used that theme, I’ve already written that kink, that other character uses that speech pattern so this one in another fandom can’t, I feel like I’m writing predictable things,
is this different enough from that other thing I wrote,
are people filling out bingo cards by my work? :sobbing:
Me as a reader: oh hell yeah this hit the spot exactly, I hope this writer has written 20 more just like it
As one friend said when I felt I was reusing a theme too much, nobody ever says, Did Agatha Christie write about murder again?
I actually laughed out loud at the last one. A very good point.
“I love this, I hope there isn’t anything else out there like it!” Said no one ever
