I feel for you, man. On top of all of what we had to do this spring, you've added a new home and relocation. Bilbo put it well, I think: It's weird, after staring at you on a screen for 6 hours every day, these last weeks we only do it for 2 hours or so. The things that have helped me the most in these last few weeks have been trips to Lake Michigan, the woods, painting, and an old school Monet puzzle. Also, some beer.
Yeah, I picked an awful month to quit drinking. I’m glad that’s over with. Most of the anxiety I feel arose out of that sobriety, I think. Alcohol is a hell of a coping mechanism. I was drinking way too much though. Almost daily. Now, I only allow it on th, fr, sat. It’s good to take breaks. I’ve started lifting weights a bit and I’m trying to be more aware of my diet. Nothing etched in stone, no hard rules, just questioning “why,” I’m eating. Am I actually hungry? Am I bored? Am I filling a hole? Is it just habit? Lots of self reflection right now. The spring was insane. I’m glad I had a wingman. I couldn’t have imagined doing that alone. Thx!
