Where to even start...?
I guess, just that I hear ya!
I haven’t been online much, or even social much, mainly because I feel overwhelmed with doing anything other than what I need to do. It’s not that I don’t enjoy what I do, but beyond work and being a dad and partner, that’s about it.
I hold back from bringing any of this into my own writing, because I figure it’s simply self-indulgent. But then I read something like what you’ve written, and I realise, “hey there is a value with telling your story and letting people know how shit I feel sometimes.”
Because when I read stuff like this, a little voice within says, “see?!? It’s ok, you’re not a freak, this is commonplace, you’re not alone, even if you feel so darn crappy!”
So thanks for sharing. It’s helped me confront honestly what I’m experiencing in myself today, and not shrug it off as “laziness” or “sabotage” or some other spiritual bypass bullshit.

Thank you! Please know that with your words, the validation is a two-way exchange. When it came time for me to click on "Post", I was very nervous, and wondering how the piece would come across outside of my own head. With your comment and others, I'm feeling more and more emboldened, and perhaps that much more comfortable in my own skin vis-a-vis my conditions.
