Was shovelling snow at my mom's, then I tried to open a bag of salt without scissors by pushing my thumb through the thick plastic. I couldn't poke a hole through it and hurt my thumb instead.
Could be a sign of depression. Consider what we've been through and are still going through with COVID- lock downs, isolation, curfews, etc.
I didn't like reading this about you.

I have highs and lows myself. Some days I am so pissed off for no reason too. Then I remind myself that I'm living and working in my apartment. I use public transit to go shopping and also look after my mother on my off days. Staying constantly vigilant about mask wearing wearing and hand washing, avoiding others where possible; there's no relaxing or letting one's guard down. I worry about the economy and jobs and money and wonder how long we will have to live like this. I see so many more homeless people now and drug addicts closer to my home, more than I used to. I won't go on, but this year has been pretty fucking depressing. To balance myself, i remind myself of the good things that have happened this year too.
Yeah, I’ve asked myself if I feel depressed, which is a fair possibility. However, I think this is different (I spent many years depressed, so I imagine I’d be able to recognise the difference inside myself) and I wonder if it’s just burnout.Artemis wrote: ↑Mon Dec 28, 2020 2:00 pmCould be a sign of depression.

As you said, this year brought about all those new challenges... I worry about my health, my partner’s health, my income (I’m changing jobs and my new one doesn’t pay well yet... and I changed jobs partly because the industry of human translation is dying), the near future (we bought a flat), I still have one year left of studies in my university, and in general I feel like I haven’t had a break since March.
I tell myself I need a week off from everything, when I can just read and smoke weed and sleep without having to deal with anything else.

I'm doing well, just sometimes when I get down I think about all the things that are wrong or could go wrong,basically I make myself more anxious. On top of that, I'm aware that my thinking is making me feel bad which makes me feel even worse.
I think what Larry said about burnout is probably right. I too need a little break to kick back and not worry about anything for a little while.
Thanks, Nausea. That's a great idea!nausearockpig wrote: ↑Thu Dec 31, 2020 2:40 pmHey take care, ok?Artemis wrote: ↑Thu Dec 31, 2020 1:34 pmThanks, SR.SR wrote: ↑Tue Dec 29, 2020 6:14 amI didn't like reading this about you.

Maybe if you can give yourself a little reward now and again, in whatever form that may take.
