I'm going to be honest, I'm doing so-so to not-great. The slow-moving apocalypse makes it hard to focus on anything I need to do, I'm full of despair and rage about the state of the US, I'm having at least one nightmare every night, and I feel massively guilty about not staying in touch with my family and friends.
I took a mental health day on Wednesday, and just ... did nothing. Watched some favorite movies, petted the cats, and worried the Stroppy One because when I'm low, my emotional baseline goes flat. Even after almost 25 years together, my having no visible emotional response to anything freaks him out.
The big problem is that I KNOW the things to do to help a fragile emotional state, and I've been doing them. But this is a lot of stuff to try and combat.
I have just about enough focus and energy to kick ass at my dayjob, but everything else is falling by the wayside because I have no cope, and then I feel guilty about that, wheee.
Anyway, this weekend I'm going to write a GCS post (after missing the past two months) and get the September content for my Patreon done. At least I hope I'm going to do those things. (There's going to be a separate post here about Patreon stuff, and I really want people's comments around it, so keep an eye out.
How are you folks doing? Is everyone in a state of frozen existential despair?
