okay, apparently I am pretty stressed at a consistent low level - which tallies with unemployment, family stuff, new temp job, recently raised rent, record heat as an indicator of climate change, my dreams of professional art vanishing more than usual, and the omnipresent threat of the right/far right.
Oh and there’s more and more I keep forgetting like how I lost a friend in June, how my mother is probably on her way out, etc. 2023 hasn’t been one of my easiest years, at least not yet.
