Given my long history with anxiety, how I manage it depends a lot on the day and the specific situation. If I’m too tired to even think, the first thing I do is practice self-care: I take a relaxing bath, have something sweet, and curl up in bed with some comforting music. But sometimes I get a sudden burst of energy, so I take the opportunity to go for a walk (crying a little if I need to) before heading home for my usual self-care routine. 🥹

To be completely honestly... I just go watch some anime or read some book or manga. It made me feel completely better.

It depends of when it happens. Trying new things it's already a part of me, even when I'm not really that bored, so I know that it would work. Sometimes, boredom can come with exhaustion, and this it the time that I stop to wonder what it's making me feel like that.

I tend to sit with this feeling for a while, either to figure out what that truly means and what I expect from it, before going out of my way to liven things up again. I also fall back into a more social life, as it usually keeps me both grounded and busy.
