It's the holidays! You know what that means: red and green, christmas music, a surplus in spending, dangerous weather, and seasonal depression. The end of the year means a lot of major things coming to an end and that puts a great amount of pressure onto people. You know the next step is to slip into devastation and become totally unproductive, but you're not sure how. Well look no further because here in this article,you will find so many useful tips and all of your spiraling needs will be met!
1. Reject Social Interaction
(even though you need it)
Re-vitalizing yourself through interaction with people you care about is essential, even for introverts from time to time. AVOID THIS! If you want to take the next step and spiral you can't risk re-vitalizing. So if anyone invites you to do something, politely decline. Maybe someone is lingering at your door because they don't have plans and maybe want to spend time with you (no pressure, just co-existing), smile as you close the door in their face. You never want to appear rude, just polite and ambiguously busy. A key factor in suffering is that you must do it alone and never let on that you may be facing rough times.
2. Barely eat
(and when you do, it's not good for you)
You've already accepted your decent into an unhealthy lifestyle, so go all in. Sure you haven't eaten all day but this half slice of pizza will get you through the rest of it. As your emotions tear you up from the inside allow your stomach to do the same. Be sure to take things out of proportion as you down size your proportions.
3. Nullify all emotion
(you can keep like two)
On a scale of one to ten, turn the knobs of your emotions down, and just go ahead and pull the knobs off. To someone looking to ride the spiral, emotions can be dangerous. Because they allow you to live and experience life authentically; and we can't have that. Choose one or two emotions that you can fake well enough so that people don't suspect something. Some popular ones to choose are happiness or humor because a smile distracts from the sorrow in your eyes never lies.
4. Seek Counseling
(if this sounds relatable)
Counseling can be great for a spiral. But since this article is trying to do the opposite; let's just move on to the next tip. (I write satire but I thought I'd just throw this out there on a serious note. It won't happen again, very sorry)
5. Find a pit
(spiral into it)
We've come this far we might as well take it literally. Find a hole and just let the depression well up and just flop on into the hole. lol
