A little list I made for when things get a little overwhelming sometimes. Even if one of these things helped, I'm glad it could lessen your burden. Some days, even getting out of bed is an achievement and that's okay. Small steps. Taking a shower and remembering to eat, those little things are sometimes big things. Know that you're not alone and I am proud of you for being able to fight your demons no matter how small you think the action is.
