Im not gonna do it. If I didnt have a support network and family though, Id be feeling it.

struggling to cope with both micro and macro ...sadness in humanity.

Im tired of coping today. Im crying every 15 mins.

I did go to my art therapy group this morning, and felt a little better. Only to come on here and see.. what my country is doing.

Being human is a curse.

gonna go to my dr appt in a minute, and then make my favorite leek soup, or ask my husband to handle dinner so I can be a puddle on the floor.

Nearly 40 years on this earth. Today, feels like too much.

I am so proud of you. I'm just a nobody on the internet, but I am. You should be, too! Look at all the strategies you are employing, all the things you are doing for your well-being! That's strength. And wisdom. Give yourself, not some, but LOADS of credit. 🩷🩵🤍

These past two weeks, I have been wanting to cease to exist. I just wrote to my local clinic about it. Not sure what to expect, but I don't know what else to do. Which is to say, you are not alone. The world is fucked up. It's only natural that we feel weighed down by all the shit.
