I hate it when people refuse to help themselves. My sister is like “I hate being inside all the time, I feel like I don’t have a life” (since she’s doing online classes). And I’m like “Well, I’ve been doing yard work and gardening and it’s really fun! Even if you don’t want to help me outside, you could bring the dog out and play with him now that the yard is clean! It’s a nice day for the middle a winter, bright and pretty warm and green.” “No, I don’t want to do that.” “Uh… ok. Well, you could get some other hobby that doesn’t involve the internet.” “I already like making bracelets, but I never have any energy to do that.” “Then go to sleep earlier.” “I can’t because of my anxiety.” “Then find ways to manage it. When my anxiety is bad, I have to sleep with the lights on. It’s annoying, but it helps. Everyone has their own ways to manage stress and anxiety, you just have to try different things.” “I don’t want to try a million things to find out what works.”
…
WELL THEN I DONT KNOW WHAT TO TELL YOU! Just stay inside all day watching political videos talking about ICE killing innocent people all day then complain about being anxious all night if that’s what you really want to do. I can’t fucking force you to make good choices, I’ve literally given you every piece of advice I can.
