(no subject)

I, like many others, stayed the hell off FB and IG yesterday. I went so far as to log out on my computer; I don't remember my password and can't be bothered to look it up, so I guess the only place I'll have FB is on my phone. The only reason I'm not leaving FB forever is that there are some groups that I love, and they haven't been duplicated anywhere else.

(Please don't mention Discord. I'm part of two, and they are the death of productivity for me.)

I also avoided most of the news yesterday, because I knew it would lead to a spiral of doomscrolling. But I caught the big things, and ... yeah. I know there are people leading the charge on resisting and helping others; I hope at some point I have the energy to help.

We watched The Substance over the weekend. I liked it, but not as much as I expected. Plus the last 20 minutes go off the rails and feel like they're by a completely different writer and director. But if I want body horror and the problems of "making it" in Hollywood, I prefer Starry Eyes.

I suspect The Substance hits differently for those of us who've struggled with body image issues/body dysmorphia; while it didn't trigger a full meltdown, it did remind me why I've gone back to therapy. (Also, watching it on the same day as my first GLP-1 injection was maybe not the best idea.)

Speaking of that GLP-1 med (I'm on Wegovy), I had two days of very mild side effects, and that seems to have settled down. As I'm on the "starter" dose for the month, I don't expect to see any weight loss yet. Apparently that kicks in when you titrate up to .5mg.

I am TIRED. Like, I could fall back asleep RIGHT NOW tired. This is not okay.
