rhys :

therapists who give actual advice about environmental stressors rather than remind you to think of what you can control 😩💜

Yepstillgarbage :

something that has helped me is putting on gloves, grabbing a trash bag, and going to pick up some litter. gets me moving and outside while also making me feel like I'm doing something for my community.

digitoxin48 :

I’m a paramedic, and after an acute increase in stress gave me an autoimmune disorder, I learned to do just this. They joke about “touching grass” but it genuinely helps. Go outside, take a deep breath or outside air, scream into the void, then go back in and do the damn thing. If you can’t talk it out, vomit the words into a journal. My therapist told me that journaling doesn’t even have to be full sentences or make any sense. Just put the words and images in your head on the paper somehow and it will help. It does. I call it “vomit journaling” because I just spill the inner monologue from my head to the paper as it comes in and eventually the bees in my brain buzz a little quieter. Decorate it with stickers and never read it again. Just get it OUT.

Danielle :

thank you for actually giving us tangible actions to help 💓

Lily Waters :

This video literally sent me into the emotional breakdown I needed. It constantly feels like I’m going crazy trying to pretend everything is normal when it’s not

THIS! on top of intergenerational trauma as an Indigenous person - I'm exhausted! 🫠

I’ve kept my political doomscrolling/engagement to right before the gym, and then I grab some 4-5 lb weights and shadow box or hit the treadmill 😂😭 it helps!!

Dellamaria :

I wish I learned this in 2020. No wonder I'm nuts.

LMHC here. This is one of the most actionable useful TikTok’s I’ve ever seen. I’ll be sharing this with my clients.

Do art about it. You don’t have to be an artist to do art.

Robin 📚 :

I felt like I was going to break down, so I deep cleaned my house. I think it's going to stay clean for the next three years

Chad Rogers :

Your videos are always so helpful, thank you! ❤️

Can we talk about having to go about life normally and not mention anything when things are not normal
