Spent time under my favorite oak tree doing, what I call, introspective work. This is the mental work of acknowledging my feelings and letting them pass. I've spent my whole life running from feelings I didn't understand, trauma I didn't know I had. It's still a hard skill to master, but I'm getting better at not running from my own feelings. I've been overwhelmed by the state of the administration in this country. The anxiety stirs up feelings from my past where I've felt the same, pressure coming in from all sides, not safe, insecurity. I finally worked on those feelings today, letting them come to the surface so I can let them leave. My work is never done. Although none of this is my fault, it is my responsibility to work through it. #majordepressivedisorder #mentalhealth #journaling #anxiety #wordvomit #thegreatoutdoors

🐾 I’m getting desperate up here in Vermont, does anyone here on fabulouso Mastodon have experience with or knowledge about cats with anxiety disorders that eat their belly and inner leg fur.
🐾 He purrs about six hours a day to self soothe so, which is fantastic.

🐾 Hugs thanks. Here’s Sweet William. (He was named by the Rescue Shelter in Massachusetts. I saw him online twelve yeas ago and told my husband we were going for a drive.)

A cute Tuxedo is sprawled out on the bed showing his belly, which is nearly bald along with his shanks bc he’s eating his fur out of anxiety. I need help.

It has dawned on me that the clock I took in for repairs has been sitting with this clocksmith for 8 months. It literally hung in my house for 2 months....

Yes he has a backlog. But he promised it would be done in January when I dropped it off in August. I called literally 32 BUSINESS DAYS ago and he said "7 to 10 business days if it doesn't give me trouble. We will give you a call".

Over a month has passed.

Part of me is scared to even call and ask...

Most nights I find myself laying awake, replaying every conversation I’ve had over the course of the day… and everything I may have said wrong, and every way anyone could possibly take anything I said, and if I’ve ruined my relationships forever by saying something stupid.

DAE do this??

Anyone have tricks they use to interrupt the doom spiral?
