    If I don’t check social media or think about the horrors and unchecked injustices that are going on in the world then I’m OK.

      There’s a lot to be said for tuning out, but then I feel guilty about hiding my head in the sand

          That’s how I try to approach it

          I have a very personal interest in what’s happening in the US, even through I live in Australia

          I stay informed, and I make sure that I’m aware of what’s happening at the border because I go in and out fairly regularly and don’t want to miss out on info that may complicate my adventures

    Thank you. Yeah, when I think about it, I’m basically okay. Could be better, but I’m going to keep going and not let perfect be the event of good.

    How’re you?

    I’ve noticed a correlation with me skipping yoga, meditation, avoiding excessive phone usage and my stress levels rising, sleep worsening and mood dips.

    Thanks for the check up, I’ll try to take my health more serious!

      If you got the time, I find it incredibly satisfying to spend time to fix just one little thing in the house, (like a creaking door for example). Then, every time I use that thing, it reminds me of that success.

      Even if it’s just one simple fix out of the dozens of broken things, it still feels good! Also, friends may help with fixing the house 😉

    Bad week, but there’s an expiration date to the crazy and we’re almost there.

    Just keep swimming, regroup next week.

    There are times when I hang out with someone and I’ll be unbelievably happy for a couple days afterwards. Then I begin to feel a bit sad and unmotivated for a few days after that because I want more of that happiness they gave me. That kind of happiness high can be a bit intense.

    I have only a small handful of friends these days but the ones I have now are able to show me trust, appreciation and love so easily. Something that has not been very common in my life in general.

    I just keep reminding myself that there are people who genuinely care about me as I am and it gets a bit easier to motivate myself again. Little by little.

    Also helps that my parents stopped watching the 24 hour news channel so much. Not hearing the news has saved a bit more of my shrinking sanity.

    it’s been really hard, for almost a year… but I got some news last week that released a lot of weight for me.

    i still have a lot to work thru, but I’m working on accepting what’s in front of me and the choices I made that got me here.

    sincerely hope all the homies here are ok, or can find a path towards it.

    Functionally yes mentally and emotionally no. I just got word this week that our bosses are taking away our hybrid work schedule and making us come back into the office full time. I like my work and coworkers well enough but it’s not enough to keep me in an employer that’s abusive. Now all I can think about is the next round of surprise layoffs that are sure to follow. Last year was absolute hell always feeling watched and expendable. This year is looking to much of the same. I’m already looking for another job and kicking myself in the butt for putting it off for so long.

    But at least I will be able to breathe.

    Well, I resigned from my job and enrolled in a famous university for another degree.

    Also applied, interviewed, and was hired for a ptj - all in the same day.
