How’s everyone doing? (beehaw.org)

It’s bleak out there in a lot of places. How’s everybody coping?

I’ve realized I don’t ever talk about it much, because I don’t know anyone in my offline life that it’s safe to talk to. My health is precarious and my housing sometimes feels a little uncertain, so I’m very much just keeping my head down. But I don’t know! I feel Concerned! Ahh! Stress! Stressful time! I grew up in the 2000s and never thought I’d see anything like this get worse again. It’s surreal. Back then, I felt like i could freely express my rage. Right now, I can’t. It’s disorienting. How is everybody else doing? What’s it been like for you?

I’m still getting over some heart break nearly two months on. It doesn’t hurt as much anymore, but there are still days where one reminder is enough to ruin me emotionally for the rest of the day.

Hanging in there though and surrounding myself with my friends who have been really awesome to me over these last few months.

Therapy also seems to be taking a turn, so hoping things are on the rise now.

I’m really glad you have support around you. May it hurt less and less every day.
