And a daily therapy check-in, that is also cut tagged.

Ongoing evidence log:
I did therapy and experienced self-doubt which supports the healthy belief that I am capable of growing and changing, and recognizing the need for same.

Thoughts/feelings awareness log:
I felt self-doubt because I thought that I don't trust my friends to tell me when they are in danger of hurting themselves.
I felt sadness because I thought that I have no idea what most of my friends care-taking behaviours towards me look like.
I felt angry because I thought my friend A's insurance company should not legally be allowed to operate a mental healthcare ghost network because they LITERALLY GET PEOPLE KILLED. (It's illegal in CA now, and should be illegal federally.)
I felt grief, despair, and horror because I thought about the pandemic for more than 20 minutes and it does that to me.
I felt happy because I thought that the sweater I made is comfy and neat-looking, and because I am getting wedding rings to make my Boston marriage to rens_sanctuary official.

If you are crabby and out-of-sorts, it may help you to list as many forks as you can, to see which ones are the easiest to unstick:

I am upset about the pandemic, bad insurance, and multiple friends having bad life events last weekend.

I am irritated about my mom still not using my correct pronouns, my own tendency to assume responsibility for things that are not my decisions, and this country's love affair with greed.

I am sad about A's bad weekend, T's bad weekend, and my sister going through some life stuff, too.

I feel bad about not trusting my friends, having been the sort of person who lied about being okay to make other people feel better about me, and not being the sort of person that can be easily trusted with the knowledge of when my friends need help.

List 5 things that you want:
1. jewelry for my lolita coords
2. for bright-colored masculine clothes to not be hard to find or ridiculously expensive
3. a meal of sushi and sake and lotus cakes
4. a manual for my secondhand sewing machine that I cannot find on the internet
5. inexpensive therapy for all of my loved ones

We should go get sushi once the pandemic is over.

I made the mistake of letting myself think about the pandemic for too long, and right now I'm convinced that the endemic phase is never going to end. Like sabotabby, I'm trying to figure out how to live a life that does not mean going outside and interacting with people, seeing as I will just get more brain fog and possibly die.

I'm trying to remain hopeful, but ...
