I didn’t garden. I went back to bed where I felt much safer. I dozed fitfully, depressed dreams. Missed lunch, missed the best of the weather. Came outside to find Tom and Miss Cinnamon pottering about sorting things on the patio. I just feel useless, an onlooker
@purplepadma I'm really glad you're over here cos I'm trying to extricate myself from Twitter which is stressful compared to the Fediverse which is largely nice.
I love that people can send nice messages to and from. We can't fix the shit, but we can hold space and kindness for one another till shit hopefully passes.
@NatalyaD I got horribly trolled by someone I believe to be a Twitter psychiatrist the other day. He created a burner account to ridicule and armchair diagnose me and call my university “shit”. I thought of leaving again. Yet I can’t cope without my Mad community there
@purplepadma sending love! It's ok to be useless, too (even if I think you're not). You are a worthy person even when you're just getting through the days, minute by minute. I hope you get some comfort! 💚
@purplepadma 💚💜 no, we didn't have one today but will on Thursday and we get Friday off! So it's a short week thankfully! Work has been intense so the break is highly appreciated!
@purplepadma You cared for yourself when you needed to care for yourself. That is a good and smart choice - thank you for caring about you.
Finding the energy, time, and resources to selfcare is sometimes very difficult. Maybe gardening will happen later. I often feel better with the sun on my face and the wind in my hair - sounds like you have that covered!
