Checking in. It’s only been three days and y’all… I am really not ok.
How are you doing and what are you doing to keep yourself regulated and functioning?
I’ve been reading and trying to keep to myself for a few days.

I need time to decompress and process.
Will be working on more later but that's my step 1.
Definitely take care of you and your mental health. The work you do is so important, but so are YOU as a person! I'm here if you need anything and always supporting!
This is how we got here: by doing NOTHING.
How are we going to stop this? DO SOMETHING!
Getting out in the sun.
Setting boundaries around social media.
Reached out to help at a hotline that supports victims of violence.
Going to add journaling because archiving this moment is important.
All in all, focusing on all of the reasons to have hope and trying to pace myself
I'm trying to not let myself get consumed by fear, anger or hatred: that would make me no different than you-know-who.

I've muted every name related to bad news, every code word from "yahtzee" to the 🍊 emoji, and when a new one pops up, I mute that too.
Problem is Resist Posters doom speculate their wildest nightmares for engagement. I don't need to humor them, nor does anyone imo. Protect yourself from that at least. Bsky has great filtering tools 💙
My logic is: I need to get some stuff done on account of being trans, and seeing speculation about what these EOs may or may not mean was slowing me down so, I muted it all.
Run the errands.
Send the note.
Clean the room.
It gives you momentum and helps you remember that you are capable to handle a shitty world.
It’s been a lot, though.
Hang in there.
For now working on my skills creating new positive habits and shedding off the old ones for the battles ahead. It's not even week one but I remind myself I've seen them before it's just another ghoul to deal with.
