get out of bed. brush your teeth. take a shower. get dressed. put on jeans. specifically jeans if you got em’. and a shirt. with underwear and socks.

if you have to do this where one day you get out of bed. thats good. thats a step. maybe tomorrow get out of bed, and go brush your teeth. and the next day get out of bed, brush your teeth, and shower. and so on. the big step is going outside. maybe just opening a window and breathing the air. or standing in your doorway and letting the light hit you for a bit is quite nice.

then maybe after doing this routine for a bit, you can throw on some shoes and go for a walk. maybe just around the yard. maybe the block. wherever you want. bring some music with you or a book. maybe head to a park and enjoy it. take the time to breathe that fresh air, even if its cold out right now. it helps. especially the sun light.

maybe after this try jogging? or maybe some light weights? or just calisthetics if you can. bit by bit. doesnt have to be every day. could be one day a week, then two, maybe three, four, five or six. and then some rest.

then when you feel like your up for it. find a new hobby, or an old one. and enjoy it. learn from it. from yourself.

live your life. enjoy it. theres no expectation from the universe. just experience this life and take joy from it where you can. and value the suffering as well. for it gives you the ability to appreciate the joy of play, and play is anything that brings you fulfillment. could be cooking, friends, music, sports, whatever.

have fun man, dont take life too seriously, nobody ever gets out alive, and thats okay. one day at a time.

after you figured that all out, and if you want a job, maybe get one you find interesting if anything. view it as a stepping stone, an experience, not a career you are a slave to, just…something to do. every day life will teach you something in ways you never expected. and one day in the future life will call upon you to remember what you learned, and you can choose whether or not to apply those lessons as you see fit. you decide your purpose. and thats not meant to pressure you, in fact it releases you from the percieved universal expectation of purpose nearly all of us feel.

you are free. you always have been. you just forgot, brother. its okay. you will get there. i believe in you! carpe diem!

Do one thing that goes toward getting your shit together today. Thats it, just one. You will sleep soundly. Tomorrow, do one more thing.

If you’re reading this, I want you to know that I’m proud of you. I know that I don’t know you, but I don’t need to know you personally to know that things are a lot right now, and have been for rather a while. If this comment makes you feel sad because simply existing is taking so much out of you that you feel like your life isn’t much of an achievement, then I’m especially proud of you, because that’s where I’m at, and it’s hard.

Being very familiar with the cycle depicted in the OP is why I’m writing this comment: I know how hard it is to be kind to yourself when the world is bent on wringing you dry. Indeed, it’s only through recognising our shared plight that I’m able to be kind to myself. Solidarity.

Just get all your shit together, and put it in a backpack, so it’s together.

Your shit is apart, and it’s rather unbecoming of a cop and a human being. It’s supposed to be the opposite of that: together. Compressed in a small area. To achieve a solid level of shit-compression, squeeze your butt-cheeks together for 30 minutes. Do something similar with the two hemispheres of your brain. Talk to people, maybe that will help.

Just have to lock in

Getting it together is easy. You just have to get it together.

jUsT bE hAPpY!

Why is it somewhat real

I think I found the solution…just be a confident badass no matter what, be strong, sarcastic, show your power to others so they think you have good life, that you are the leader

dude. do not keep your shit in your basement. Flush it properly, and let it go. We all have to let it go. What’s through, is through, and shouldn’t come back.
