phases of doom scrolling, gathering up the news, trying to believe it even though it's SO BAD it defies belief

phases of talking about it to friends and family, posting to sm, trying to get people to wake up to reality

phases of just sapping, playing games, watching true crime stories, and looking elsewhere

phases of interacting with friends and family for the joy and the love of it and keeping all the noise out of it

etc.

I have therapy about every 6 weeks or so to make sure i am not crazy. love my therapist

I work.

I hope you're feeling well Peggy and strong for the treatments awaiting you, that they are completed promptly and your outcomes are all great!

So I go online everyday!

It's exhausting, and outrageous, the plethora of havoc, that comes out of the cabal called the current president's administration.

It's a kind of quiet malaise and I have to remind myself that I and the people I love the most are all well and pretty happy with their lives. No one is sick, dying or permanently damaged emotionally.
