Anxiety, media, self-care 

I don't know how to disconnect. I try watching media but I run out of that. 45 has made me yet again fearful about existence and how it might get me along with everyone else wiped out by two enormous narcissists.

I just started living.

I don't know how to self-care. I don't know what to do. All I do is wallow and it gets worse.

Anxiety, media, self-care 

@xurnami my selfcare solution when i've run out of things to do is hyperfocus on something, even if it's just for a few minutes.

make a ritual of making tea (or other beverage, or toast, etc). listen to an album you know you love, or that's entirely new. watch a movie you've memorized and quote the whole thing.

longerform hyperfocus for me is usually getting into a new game or cleaning for a few hours.

i hope this wave passes soon, friend. good luck.
