A stone archway opening onto a sunlit garden path

step 1 of 4 · body basics
body basics first

have you eaten in the last four hours?

not judging. just asking.

before anything else

go eat something small.

it doesn't have to be a meal. crackers, strawberries, a handful of something. your brain needs fuel to regulate — even a few bites changes things.
Paprika delivers. so does literally anything in your kitchen right now.

body basics

have you taken your Zoloft today?

your nervous system works differently when it's supported.

quick one

go take your Zoloft.

your PTSD and anxiety response is genuinely harder to regulate without it. this is care, not a chore.
step 3 of 4 · body basics
body basics

have you had water today?

dehydration amplifies anxiety and makes dissociation worse. you wrote this in your journal many times.

simplest one

drink a glass of water right now.

ice water through a straw is oddly effective. go do it — i'll wait.
step 4 of 4 · how you're feeling
almost there

what's closest to right now?

you can change this in the menu. pick the one that feels nearest.
