I went to bed when I was low instead of scrolling through it

Dear Delyara, Usually, when I feel flat and tired and not quite right, I stay up too long. I scroll, I numb, I keep myself half-awake because sleeping honestly would mean ending the day and admitting I didn’t really manage it well. It never helps. This week I did something different. I felt low, and I just went to bed. No extra punishment. No doom-scrolling. No forcing myself to remain online because I didn’t know what else to do with the feeling. Sleep helped more than distraction ever does. I want to remember that.
