I Feel…
I feel sad… I think. Or tired. Maybe overworked. Under-rested. Not doing the fun things I want to do. Idk what I feel… Also I want junk food. I don’t have anything good. And I also just ate. But my mouth wants to feel happy. Which sounds stupid but it’s true. I should be doing stuff. I think. I’m resting. I’m tired. But dishes need doing. I wanna do art. But I haven’t moved for a long time…

Its hard when so many emotions are running through our heads and things need to be done. Those darn dishes don't wait for anyone 😁 You need to not be too hard on yourself, life is tough at the best of times, all we can do is our best to navigate our way through the tough times, sending you all my love 💜

My soul felt this. 😕 This has been me the last few weeks. I hopped on chatgpt today and decided to try and get back into fasting and some shadow work. It honestly felt like what I needed. Cause what is triggering this behavior?! I hope you find what you need to pull out of this. You got this! 💜 Do the art.
What’s shadow work?
Today I drew a little elephant holding a flower in its trunk, and a candle with melting wax in a fancy metal candleholder <3
@jesusredeemedme2425 That doesn’t sound stupid at all, Kiara. It actually sounds really human.
Sometimes our brain short-circuits all the tiredness and stress into “junk food,” because it’s the quickest way to feel something good when everything else feels like too much or not enough.
And you don’t have to solve it all at once. Maybe just… stretch a little. Open a window. Or talk a walk. That is movement.
You’re not broken. You’re just tired. And maybe a little lonely in your own head.
That’s okay. You’re allowed to rest and still want joy. You're allowed to sit still and still be someone who makes things.
And yeah, sometimes our mouths just want to feel happy. That’s real too.
Be kind to you. You’re doing your best in a messy moment.
Love you, Kiara <3
This is like the most sense that anyone has ever made to me. I'm on this particular struggle bus at least once a week. I hope you've made it out of that for now. ❤️

I know how you’re feeling as I’ve been there myself before.
I feel sad… I think. Or tired.
If you’re tired, best cure for that is rest or sleep. If you’re sad, any idea or knowledge as to why? You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to. But if you know why you’re sad you can work on taking the sadness away by curing yourself with happiness ❤️
Maybe overworked. Under-rested.
If you’re overworked, have you tried lessening your workload if that’s possible? Overworked means doing more beyond your own limits. And if that’s the case it’ll explain why you’re feeling overworked. Being under rested would certainly explain why you’re tired.
Not doing the fun things I want to do.
I’m here myself sometimes. But journaling it helps me get everything out so I’m happier. I suggest that to you to try. Who knows? Might help you too :)
Idk what I feel…
I’m so sorry you don’t know what you’re feeling. :( I wish you did know what you were feeling. Lmk if I can help you find out.
Also I want junk food. I don’t have anything good. And I also just ate. But my mouth wants to feel happy. Which sounds stupid but it’s true.
You should treat yourself to what you want. If it’s junk food you and your mouth want, have it. Just try not to overdo it bc overdoing anything isn’t healthy. Your mouth wanting to feel happy is nowhere near stupid. It’s a part of you. It deserves to feel happy too.
I should be doing stuff. I think. I’m resting. I’m tired. But dishes need doing.
If dishes are taking time off you from doing stuff, I suggest doing dishes as early as you can or putting them in a dishwasher (or getting one if you don’t have it) so you’ll still have more free time to do things after it’s done :)
I wanna do art. But I haven’t moved for a long time…
How come you haven’t moved in a long time? If you wanna do art then please do it :) If you can’t move you can still do some form of art by sitting and drawing or painting. Doesn’t matter if it’s good or not so try not to stress about that since the purpose of this specific piece of art is you doing something you enjoy and want to do.
I think I felt sad because I was tired.
