I know what Learned Helplessness is. I recognize my thoughts are so rotten with that mindset it's like navigating an ocean of swiss cheese. Basically I'm feeling a big wall of discouragement, anxiety and pessimism between me and anything I value. So, I sit and ruminate. Then ruminate some more. Then watch funny cat videos on youtube to cheer myself up, while wondering where all my free time went.

But I recognize my enemy and intend to make it wish it hadn't messed with me. Wish me luck, please. I feel like I'm floundering badly these days.
