• Drink water, take meds

• Gentle walk to Point Pleasant

• Cold dip in the (contaminated) Atlantic Ocean

• Try to move, maybe dance

• Reply to one (1) text, and then another if replying to one (1) text does not kill me

• Ask for help, tell safe someone how I feel

• Try not to focus on the feeling of being followed

• Mail a letter to a friend, just because

• Schedule something nice for future me

• Pray to exist in the future

• Feel yearning

• Turn on the heated blanket

• Make the air smell nice (no dogs)

• Put on my glasses, and admire the fine details of something small and important

• Try to warm up (it’s so hard)
