feeling numb and abject 😐
haven't felt like this in 2021 yet, cool
hooray for cyclical SAD rearing its head at the expected time like clockwork*
fresh twist: this year I have no chance of any gatherings with 'friends' 🙄
*a few weeks after the year begins once the new year doesn't seem as novel anymore but it's still dark, cloudy, and frigid outside
(I already have a SAD light, am on the optimal meds, exercise, meditate, and usually get enough sleep... just have to wait it out 😕)
@protoneutype I realise this might not work for everyone but I find making music is a fairly reliable way to get the endorphins flowing again in that situation. Combination of motor activation, structured sensory experience & sense of accomplishment when you get to the end of a tricky piece/passage. (If you're unmusical, there're probably other things with the same features... I dunno, handicrafts? Woodwork?)
