for when your
brain has left the building
A tiny support guide for overwhelmed days
Some days your brain just… checks out.
Thinking feels hard. Decisions feel impossible. Everything feels louder than it should.
This isn’t a mindset course.
It’s not about fixing yourself or finding clarity.
It’s something to read when your brain cannot handle advice.
What this is
A short written guide with 7 gentle, slightly sarcastic support prompts for days when:
you’re overwhelmed
you can’t think straight
your nervous system is fried
and “just be positive” makes you want to scream
Each prompt is 1–2 paragraphs.
No exercises. No journaling. No homework.
What this is not
Not a transformation
Not a productivity system
Not toxic positivity
Not something you have to keep up with
You don’t need to finish it.
You don’t need to do it “right.”
You just open it, read one page, and stop.
Who this is for
This is for you if:
you’re chronically ill or mentally exhausted
your brain feels foggy, overloaded, or offline
you’re tired of being told to “push through”
you want support without pressure
What you might feel after
slightly calmer
less self-blame
more grounded
not fixed — just supported
And honestly? That’s enough for today.
