this is not a dooming plurk i am choosing not to doom

the one thing i have full control over is how i spend my time and what goes on in my head

and i'll be damned if i give any more than necessary to any of those fucks lmao

i muted all my discussion/politics channels on discord for now and i already ditched twitter

LOL

that meme tho

i love this meme lmao

take care of urself min

you too pls be safe and kind to yourself

i took an edible last night and was up until like 2am but all i ended up doing was stuff for work this morning lmao

why am i like this idek

but i was stressed about that and then delivered a very nice plan this morning so i am considering work accomplished today

and will play a video game lol

i think everyone is in like tag amnesty rn because shit sucks and games are even lowering AC this month but i'll probably work on tags later

this meme has teleported to the top of my favs list

also interestingly re: doing stuff for work, i am reading a book right the now that makes a very good point that actively doing things versus sitting with your Doom Thoughts is a huge control lever on your mood

so, like, why not. work. LOL

plagueheart: yeah!! imo a big problem with dooming is being trapped in like the endless anxiety spiral because like
what the fuck are any of us going to actually do about it
so you need to actively do something whether it's playing a game or doing work or going to the gym you need to do something you have control over
and it helps

i also have what i call my 10 minutes of government mandated sadness about things lmao
where i give myself time to feel bad about something and then i have to get up and do something about it

and the "something" might not be a solution but it's gotta be something that isn't dooming about whatever the problem is lol

government-mandated sadness, i love it

my mom calls it "throwing yourself a pity party"

so i have successfully not doomed at all this week which is great
but i am still in grief/depression mode which is not so great

hard to know if it's for the election or the usual grief this time of year lmao

probably a little of column A and a little of column B

i got breakfast this morning and spent more on breakfast this morning than i should've considering my appetite which is not as good as i thought! lesson learned

like i'm not actively sad i am just like
quietly unmotivated to do things

ok the hot chocolate ain't bad
