Month In Review(s) - February 2023

 

What can I say about February?

As February tends to do, because of the length, it kind of zipped past.

It was not as bad as January for yours truly (because that, unfortunately, would take some beating,) but it was still full of more downs than ups, really.

I struggle when the people I love are struggling, dearest nerdlets, I really do.

And I tend to turn those feelings back on myself - like if I was just 'good enough' then things would be better, if I knew what I was doing with my life then things would be better, if I was just fundamentally 'better' then things would be better.

Objectively, I know that is a pile of b*llsh**.

Subjectively, I feel it.



So, in the middle of a stressful situation, I've also been dealing with the things that - for me - come with a stressful situation:

- migraines

- Depression

- Anxiety



With that in mind, I actually did quite well in February - all things considered.

And that's 'good enough' for me! 😅

  1. I'm sorry to hear you're struggling twice the amount you were supposed to! But glad to hear you did well, all things considered. Hold on!

  2. I totally relate to struggling when others around you are struggling, and that anxiety is definitely heightened. I hope you're able to find some coping mechanisms in these coming months. I obviously don't know the weight of what you're dealing with but writing out my frustrations, anxieties, etc. and then reading it out loud helps to let out some tension. Hugs <3

      ...Honestly? In my family, at the moment, I'm the one with the coping skills (*sighs*)
