Practical improvements
Start with one. Run it for two weeks. Then add another.
Reach out to one professional this week
A first call to a therapist or your GP is the hardest step. Make it small.
Protect the basics
Sleep, food, movement, sunlight, connection. They are treatment, not background noise.
Limit avoidance
Avoidance shrinks your world. Small, repeated exposure usually beats white-knuckling.
Tell one person
Saying it out loud — to a friend, a partner, a coach — changes its weight.
Try journaling
A few minutes a day, structured or freeform. Cheap, evidence-supported, low risk.
