places ranked by how good the mental breakdown i’ve had in them was

thoodleoo:

1. public restroom: 7/10

solid breakdown location. most people won’t bother you since they’ve all been there before. you can also lock yourself into a stall and there are conveniently mirrors for making sure that you look okay before you leave

2. shower: 9/10

great place to have a breakdown. you can stay in as long as you want and then recuperate by standing under the hot water. nobody can see your tears if your face is wet from showering. only issue is that i’d rather be hosting my own abba concert

3. in your car on the way to work: 4/10

fairly private but can become dangerous. bonus of being able to mostly operate on autopilot but may have to pull over until you can see the road again. god help you if you drive on a highway. also then you have to deal with post-breakdown fuzz at work

4. in your bedroom at 3 am: 6/10

okay, but i’d rather be sleeping at this time. does have the added benefit of already being in bed so once you’re exhausted from crying you can just pass out.

5. in front of people who care about your wellbeing: -10/10

horrible. anything but this. do not recommend.
