With all the bad stuff that’s happened in the past, all the bad stuff going on in the present, and the forecast being full of terrible stuff in the future, now’s a great time to look for new ways to get through all the bullshit. What are your weird, unconventional, or non-traditional ways for coping with things when times get tough?
Idk if this is weird but I’m currently going through it, whenever there’s the possibility for me to feel bad my brain just shuts off emotions for a while. No sadness no happiness no energy. I guess it’s like a survival mechanism to make me focused and rational in high-stakes scenarios but my brain considers experiencing a bit of anxiety to be high stakes enougj to just turn off the feelings. It’s more just annoying and boring because it means that I don’t enjoy anything that much.
Something will happen that would upset me, and I just go “Ah well”. I can’t cry anymore which bothers me also
This is really relatable. I’ve been trying to put my finger on what’s going on with me and this is definitely part of it
