Hey Megan, How are you holding up??
I want to talk with people about my feelings about this huge loss. But I’m also exhausted from how much I’ve cried today, and I want a distraction so that I can stop crying long enough for my stuffy nose to clear up. So I will probably log off soon to distract myself and eat.
I'm doing ok, not crying so much as feeling heavy and also having bad fatigue symptoms today. A distraction is definitely a good idea-- earlier I watched one of my favorite new shows, The English Teacher (on FX and hulu), and had some real laughs that helped immensely. But other than that my focus is GONE.
I'm thinking of scrolling my 'happy making' tag for some cute, silly, fun things. Will tag below in case you want the same.
Definitely remember to eat and rest right now, drink extra water, and-- if you have any sort of art supplies handy --maybe do something like coloring to give yourself a soothing activity that's simultaneously mindless and engaging.
I'm giving everyone a little mental hug at the moment, we all seem to need it 🫂
