  • Feeling Cold, Anxious and Apathetic maybe

    Jump

  • Hello fellow struggler, I'm glad we are having this exchange. I'm currently sick with Covid (not bad, just annoying, that's what you get for going out and meeting people lol). It helps me go a litte easier on myself though, as I have good reason to isolate an feel exhausted.

    As for my current Thing, I asked my best friend to help me and together, we made some decent progress. Especially when I have trouble reading messages because I am afraid they might contain something stressful (which of course doesn't fix anything), it helps me to ask someone I trust to read them for me and tell me what they say. Stupid, I know, but the simpelest things can feel as hard as you let them sometimes...

    Anyways, I coloured something today and quite enjoyed it.

    monotI like one minute at a time, it can be a reminder that the past does not determine the future. Even though the last 200 Minutes weren't so great, I can get up and make myself a cup of tea this minute.

    Can totally confirm sunlight, it helps to make myself sit in the sun even for a bit. I am lucky to have a balcony, so I don't even need to leave the house, really.

    Digestionwise, I have had some good experiences adding some psyillium/flea seeds to my oats, but it might not be for you.

    I've been wondering about things I can do in better times to build some resources for when I'm struggeling. So far, I came up with stuff like having some proper meals at home that need little effort to prepare, as well as trying to build/practice good habits like journaling, mindfulness and light exercise. I'd be interested in further ideas, should you have any :)

    Hope you are continuing to get better, do not despair if you aren't.

  • I discovered this community and your post today. A lot of what you wrote rings familiar to me. It's a cycle I am always afraid of because I know how easy it is to slip in and how hard to get out.

    I start avoiding a thing and it just keeps growing, I don't allow myself to do anything else really because the THING is still there. I distract myself with something irrelevant until I can't stop because once I do I think about THE THING and anxiety and self-hate bubble up. Too avoid these feelings, I need to keep distracted until I am too tired to keep my eyes on the screen. By this time, morning light is already disturbing my exhausted sleep. I wake up at noon, dehydrated, and go right back to distracting.

    I think that everyone's replies are magnificent, excerpts from them got copied to my collection of good advice. I hope today finds you ok and I want you to know that you are not alone in your struggles.

  • Veganism is a way to see things more clearly without doing the tiresome mental gymnastics of justifying your part in the status quo.

  • Just because there are many doesn't mean they are right (I don't mean to offend). Art, I believe, is not in the eye of the beholder, but in the thought of the creator.

  • I was under the impression that it is a perfectly good game with a horrible playerbase. But I suppose certain mechanics, like being able to take your teammates hostage and steal their time without actually playing to win, might nuture toxicity.

  • One major reason cities do this is because most fellow spray can wielders will respect the existing work, thus resulting in a nicely painted instead of randomly tagged building.

  • True. Here is the most simplistic yet (hopefully) recognizable symbol I could come up with:

  • I think I can see it as expanding the empathy to humans that cling to the worldview they grew up with as well as the food they are used to. Change is strenuous. Plus I don't want to put it on myself to deal with people's reactance. I rather feel like empathizing the personal choice factor (you choose to eat animals, I choose not to, we are both valid persons) will keep people from getting their walls up too quickly.

  • Exactly. The message here is more along the lines of "pity this was painted over so boringly, this is what you get". It is not just a wall, it is the wall with the original artwork still underneath a thin layer of paint. I call art. Even with just the "hehe", I'd say it still has the old meaning of any mark made on purpose anywhere: "I was here." (That seems to be the main point of tagging.)
