I haven't showered in a week

Start small. You don’t have to do everything all at once. Maybe just splash some water on your face, or change your shirt, or brush your teeth. Little wins are still wins, and they build up. And when you’re ready — not when you “should” be, but when you’re ready — that shower will be waiting, like a small fresh start.

You’re not alone in this. You’re not broken. You’re human. And no matter how heavy things feel right now, they can and will get lighter.

You matter. You’re needed. And you are absolutely not alone.
