Yet, the idea of going back to monthly PMDD is also not great. I also feel like a poser sometimes because I seem like I function well enough mentally and physically to the world, and most people seem to quickly forget I have issues as a result. Then I feel like I just come off as lazy or like I don't care to be involved in things, but really sometimes getting through the day is tough. Although sometimes I question if that's true or it's just a mindset and really I should be able to do more.
I guess I need to keep reminding myself that I do a decent amount considering and that I've made progress. I just feel isolated sometimes from my peers and community and have for a long time. Although I do have some good friends, but most are in other states right now. Anyways, I sound like such a downer. Just in a weird mood. Sending compassion.
You have been working hard on stuff for months now and feeling better and then this plague hits and our ability to physically see or Pdoc and T's are flipped to phone or video sessions which is better than nothing but it changes the dynamic of our work in sessions.. Then the protests ( rightfully so) and then some people see this as a perfect oppurtunity to riot, Burn buildings and cars to the ground and pick up a new TV on the way out of the stores .. Its sooooo overwhelming .. I at times truly need to be an Ostrich and stick my head in the sand, Do not watch news programs and scroll right past any political anything on my Facebook.

You are not a downer you are a person that is working through crap and life happened and your trying to find ways to handle the extra stress of life right now.

You need to find more kindness and compassion for yourself right now
