    was feeling really good lately, managed to crawl out of a decade+ depressive episode and felt genuinely good for the first time in my life.

    But there are now reports of ICE in my town and I’m scared shitless and afraid to be at home, as thank to Trump my VAWA application has stalled. And fear being disappeared and never see my kids again, leaving them alone with the abusive narcissist that encouraged my suicide.

      Lucky for you, I am educated in the finest medicine the 18th century has to offer; Have you considered opium? It really helps, and it has no adverse effects.*

      *: These quacks with their fancypants modern medical degrees claim there are plenty of adverse effects, but if they’re so good, how come the secretary of health despise them so much? Checkmate, big pharma.

      1. Breathe

      2. Close your eyes and focus on a single point at the tip of your nose

      3. Fine 5 things to look at and note details about them, then 4 things you can touch and note their texture, 3 things you can hear and how they sound, 2 things to smell, 1 thing to taste (the inside of your mouth and/or the skin of your hand will do in a pinch for these last two)

      Hope whatever it was is over by now, but also that some of these tricks can help in the future

    Tired has always been my answer but especially as of late. Feels like I’ve been in a fog for the last month. Not a chronic disease as far as I’m aware but just tired of trying. When I can’t get as far as I’d want to be. Like I’m hitting a wall.

    I mean, I know at one point or another I’ll probably find a way around it, or through it. And I know others have it way worse than I do right now. But feels like I’m losing the drive to try. I’ve had enough rest, I just want out now.

    Probably a bit of a “bruh”

    I don’t know what hit me but I was feeling somewhat sick for… the entirety of the past 4-5 weeks, I believe. Probably the flu, hope it’s just my regularly scheduled Autistic burnout, really hope it’s not COVID… Never sick enough to warrant a sick leave (not that my boss would allow it at this point anyway), but I really wasn’t feeling it. I thought I recovered this week… went for some workout that got too intense on Mon, and voilà I’m stressed out again, so I guess I’ll just do my “new-immigrant mandated” amounts of Meetup groups (separate topic as to why new immigrants need to attend Meetups to build friendgroups… but I digress) and rest

    Work got a bit interesting. Half of the people in the tiny research lab I’m working at decided to quit sooner or later, so there’s a bit of a weird tension around… and work-wise I’m now in a weird place where I really don’t have much to do but have to fake busy for 7,6 hours a day (lunch break not included). I’m seriously contemplating asking for a week or two off

    There are good things happening though so it’s not all negative

    I hate the system. I hate that everything costs so much. I dont want to be here anymore, but I dont want to die. Im not feeling suicidal. Im feeling more and more rebellious. Not so much as Im about to go full anarchy, but being a nuisance to share a point.

    For most part pretty good. A bit worried about small things: I need to lose some kilos, my old cat is becoming crankier by the day, I got no idea on what to prepare for lunch tomorrow, my mum changes ideas on what she wants for our living room furniture by the day, this sort of thing.

    Also excited with the fact it’s Thursday, tomorrow is Friday, and Friday means deep-fried food snacks in our “home bar”.

    I feel like I could describe my life as pretty awesome or an absolute train wreck, depending on how I feel in the moment or who I’m talking to. So I guess on balance I’m fine.
