Sometimes the very best we can do is get through one minute at a time under the blankets in our room.

Sometimes the outside world seems too overwhelming, especially when it feels hard enough to be in your own head. It can feel like something is physically preventing you from moving or like there’s nothing worth getting out of bed for. Maybe there’s too much to do or the world is too loud or you don’t belong. Shame, obligations, work, school, or relationships can make you want to sit out of everything. When you’re feeling and thinking these things, it makes sense that you would want to stay in your room or that you’d feel unable to get out of bed.
