Sorry for being so prolific today, but Beloved just sent me this article, and I’m only halfway through, but I know, with absolute clarity, that many of my pocket friends will resonate. #ennui #burnout #TechExistentialism #SelfSoothing https://www.noemamag.com/why-is-everyone-in-tech-so-sad

When I’m overwhelmed, I imagine I’m talking to my 5-year-old self. I wouldn't yell at a scared kid, so I won't yell at myself. "It's okay. We will get through this." 🧸 #InnerChild #SelfSoothing #BipolarLife

I have to meet at least 6 new people today.
I am giving myself pep talks because the social anxiety has crept in.
I'll get through this discomfort(repeating this personal mantra).
Sweaty hands, shaky nerves & all, it shall pass. -

A whole lot of things are going badly wrong in my life at the moment, so I will write about three good things that happened today in an attempt to cheer myself up:
- My son sat the ACT test today and felt that he had done well.
- I was in a library earlier where I had the pleasure of watching the Music Core stages of Kep1er -- Shooting Star, Nicole -- 5!6!7!8!, and ARTMS -- Virtual Angel. All three songs hit the spot with me, and today I was particularly taken with the Kep1ian audience's vocal support, Nicole's disco strings and male dancer, and Choerry's mauve minidress and silver stiletto heeled boots.
- I was fascinated to learn more about C17 French political thinker and librarian Gabriel Naudé. I am both attracted and repelled by what I have read of his ideas, so I am keen to learn more.

I got up way too early and had to take my car in for more repairs (still not fixed) so I don’t have enough energy to be my normal sparkling, engaging self. My spoon count is just high enough to have ice cream.

Haven't done much #origami since childhood. Decided to pick it up again as a #mindfulness and #SelfSoothing activity. Here are the #books I'm starting with as well!

I've noticed that one of the daft self soothing things I do is walk around talking to myself in a Birmingham (UK) accent. I love that accent. Life seems more manageable in that accent #life #language #SelfSoothing

CW: Venting about PTSD
PTSD hitting me hard today. I know part of it is that we're coming up on a lot of negative anniversaries and that time of year where the trauma in question happened... it was also hitting me last month (same trauma got brought up by something life threw at a friend.) so aftershocks, kinda. Both? Just because? I guess?
Brains/nervous systems are weird.
I'd like to let go of this. I'd like to forget this shit, but I also need to remember.
So I am sitting here with comfort characters and blankets and a piece of chocolate and occasionally welling up with tears. Trying to remind myself that I'm here in Arizona in December 2022, not in a hospital ICU in Indiana in January 2019. Certain grooves in my brain seem to think otherwise.
The worst part of crying is the wet neck.
