Small self-care to try

Specific, low-effort resets — pick one rather than trying to do all of them.

Gather every cushion and blanket, make one good spot, and read a chapter of something undemanding.

Questions people usually have

What if I have very little energy?

Pick the option with the smallest time badge and just do that one — often Build a blanket nest and read. Starting tiny is the whole strategy.

Do I need to buy anything?

No. Almost everything here is free or uses what you already have at home.

Is this a substitute for support?

No. These are everyday mood-care ideas, not medical, mental-health or emergency advice. If you're struggling, reach out to someone you trust or a professional.
