    Completely agree with the situational stuff. Imagine you’re sitting in a park, trying to kick off a “just chilling and having fun” for yourself, but actually being nervous or anxious. But just sitting on your ass in a nice place can do wonders (remember it doesn’t count if you doomscroll) - from personal experience, my brain frantically tries to find some job for itself for a while: entertainment! thrill! flying space cats! - but when nothing happens, it switches to “okay, wake me up is something happens” mode, and I suddenly don’t need to run somewhere and do stuff.
