      Iirc there was a subreddit called ShowerOrange. I suggest you use a seedless one and cut the orange into fourths first so you don’t have to bite through the skin, but leave the skin on for that burst of scent.

      Wash and rinse yourself first, then CHOMP into that orange while the warm water runs over you from the back. Squeeze the rind to scent the steam.

      After eating the orange, close your eyes and turn facing the water, letting it wash the orange droplets away along with your cares and sins, standing there in a dream state until you start to run out of hot water.

        No no, part of the magic of shower orange is digging your fingers in and ripping the orange in half, then mashing the ripped halves into your face. But yes, seedless works best.

      I think you should just move into the shower and get yourself a plastic pillow.

      You can come out when you’ve washed all your sins away

    Advocating for using eating as a coping mechanism during times of distress is a shitty idea.

      I don’t really think that’s what this is saying but maybe I’m biased. For me, between depression and ADHD eating is something that’s easy to forget to do and certain emotions definitely become stronger when you fail to eat.

        That’s an interesting different perspective. See, I saw it and thought it meant like comfort eating - which I mean if you’re hating people several times a day, you’re gonna end up being perfectly spherical.

        But, like you say… It could be from not /forgetting to eat, like a hangry and eat a snickers “you’re not you when you’re hungry” situation.

        Interesting, I can see it from both ways now - the beauty of good discussion.

        I have both of those issues as well and I know how worthless this sounds for you right now: counting my calories and having a good eating routine helped me get healthy. It’s nice that my hyper fixation is focused on my wellbeing right now.

          That can easily spiral into an ED. Be careful. My gf went down that rabbit hole once.

            Thanks for pointing it out. I’m aware of that but I’m at 17% body fat and my goal is around 10-12% so my testosterone levels should stay at a normal level.

                Low body fat will plummet your testosterone levels which then leads to a low sex drive and erectile dysfunction… Oh we we’re thinking about different EDs XD
                Also your ED makes more sense in context of a girlfriend but we’re in the fediverse after all.
                I recently watched some videos about the effects of low body fat on your body and I didn’t read your comment properly.

      These aren’t coping mechanisms that it’s trying to describe, it’s a cartoon version of a checklist for those with poor interoception. Basically, it’s saying if you’re feeling the feelings in column A and you don’t know why, it’s likely you’ve forgotten to fill a bodily need in Column B: Fatigue makes you more sensitive to criticism, Hunger raises your aggression, a failure to do Self-Care can lead to lessened feelings of self-worth.

      I think it’s more referring to feeling “hangry”, not necessarily the general hatred of other people. It could be more specific to avoid confusion but it also is just a cute raccoon webcomic and usually there’s some nuance lost in webcomics.

      100%. If you’re feeling all pent up and you hate everyone - get some fresh air. Sit outside, go for a little walk if you can. Nothing massive, just up and down the street, around the block will suffice.

      Gotta shit before you can do shit. Even if you only did 1 hour of extra shit today, if you did it without burning yourself out that extra little bit, then you’re winning. It’s like regenerative/sustainable productivity.

    No, no, it’s

    When you feel like everyone hates you, murder.

    When you hate everyone, murder.

    When you hate yourself got murdering everyone, shower to hide the blood.

    There are few things more simultaneously difficult and satisfying as motivating your sick/depressed/lethargic self to get into the shower. But once you’ve done it, the feeling can be like night and day.

    This also applies to being ill and having to force yourself to stomach food.
