Fluctuating levels of despair 🎠🌻🏳️‍🌈

PhD drop-out. Now a bit broken/lost. Lesbian. She/Her. Depression/trauma/a bit mad. 🏳️‍🌈🌻
Post mainly about mental health, disability/accessibility/inclusion, ceramics and other craft projects, and dogs.🏺🎨🖍️🐩
Sea, sunshine and Smudge therapy helped a lot. The university stuff that felt so overwhelming this morning feels less so this evening. So glad to have this little dog in my life. 🥰

Have other people done symbolic things to mark a trauma anniversary? Looking for ideas.

First anniversary of PhD resignation coming up and they treated me so badly I didn't think I'd be here to write this.

(Things like smashing something, sending a letter out to sea... that sort of thing?!)

How are you all finding your people here without hashtags?

Bluesky is like when you drive through a pleasant town with a very small population and think, “I could live here”

What do other people do to look after themselves when feeling burnt out/exhausted?

I mainly eat too much, +/- drink, and isolate myself.

Have people found better ways that actually nourish them...?

I need to rest, I know that much. But beyond that it's just a big question mark. ❓😬

Hello, are there any other #MadTwitter #MadBlueSky people here...?

Or anyone posting about #MentalHealth #MentalIllness #TraumaNotPD #Disability #Inclusion?

I'd also take new pottery/craft-y connections?!
