i dunno if that resonates, but i know i found it helpful to stop worrying about "fixing" my response to acute stressors and start thinking about what day-to-day things i could do to bring down my baseline stress instead! much less pressure to respond the right way, right away

had a grad school mentor explain it to me like this: there's acute stress & baseline stress. if your baseline stress is high (and, uh. guessing it is, for obvious reasons), you can acclimate to it, but then it takes very little acute stress (like losing a remote) to tip you into 'can't cope' mode...

I'm also currently reading: Foul Days, by G. Dimova (Russian folklore-inspired, modern-ish); Black Tide Son, by HM Long (magic pirates); and Heir, by S. Tahir (pseudo-Roman fantasy). I've been bouncing off the Blood Gift by NE Davenport, but haven't quite given up on getting through it yet....

I just finished Asunder, by K. Hall, which is an interesting fantasy novel with Lovecraftian/eldritch horror aspects, and while I'm not sure it held my interest throughout, I ended the book feeling like if there is not fanfic of my ship i will riot!!! (there probably isn't fanfic of my ship.)
