it's weird spending thanksgiving alone. it was always such a vibrant holiday in my family. now that we've splintered, i end up spending the time on my own. i miss the vibrant times but have come to appreciate the solitude as well, if a little lonely.

awake again too early. i keep falling asleep around 10 so i end up getting enough sleep, it's just all broken up. 10-4 is still 6 hours so it's ok i guess. i suppose this is aging. i hit 40 and was suddenly old. up early, disrupted sleep, pain all the time (physical, mental, existential). #sleep

i have many things to do and no desire to do them
current events are getting to me more than i'd like, even if it is basically a reasonable amount of concern
how do we go about our daily lives? what does that even mean now? none of this is normal
even mostly stable, my mood dx's go haywire

Gutted by the Dems caving after the blue-wave wins of last week? Sick & tired of us snatching defeat from the jaws of victory? I hear you! Might I suggest you calm yourself, relax, take a deep, cleansing breath... then see if this photo of 2 pandas cuddling is of any help.

my AP (anti psychotic), when we push up the dose, makes the extra trains of thought go quiet. it's very weird to start with a dozen simultaneous thoughts and then shift to having only 1 maybe 2 trains of thought. i feel dull. ive grown so accustomed to the noise, it feels normal but i know it isn't

so my #OCD has me replaying #kpopdemonhunters over and over and over. it's frustrating bc when i play something else, my brain and body rebel and everything feels *wrong*. those of you with ocd/adhd/audhd might understand? when the movie ends i almost always start it over immediately. send help! 😭

i'm getting pretty good at opposite action (dbt skill) and it comes more naturally these days. today i didn't want to clean, so instead i got up and took a shower. then since i was up and dressed, i felt more inclined to clean up. when i'm depressed this is much harder, but the skill def helps
