Winding Down Blog Day 21
Standard Intro:
Hello. I'm writing this partially as emotional regulation for me, partially an update to make them more regular. I'm writing it before bed in the hopes that it will help me process stuff. I've found that publicly writing out my thoughts and feelings, even in a clinical or detached way, helps to stop things from festering within me and causing even more emotional buildup.
Video that made me happy recently:
A long video of a man feeding many fat raccoons.
I have created a playlist of all the videos introduced so far! Because my YT channel has my real full name on it, I used a tool to create an anonymous one. It may expire, but I'll keep updating it with new videos as I add them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ostmx1IgTM&list=TLGG1zlZQbPfcjMxNTAxMjAyNg
I noticed that I accidentally repeated Pup Buds (video of the seal pups talking). The playlist should help me keep track of what I've posted so something like that doesn't happen again.
Today was a good day. It was a "busy day" by my definition, but that busy work (and being in transit, out and about, etc) is helping me move away from everything and into a new phase. I have no real updates to write about. My sleep schedule got off-track again, I'm going to try and get it back to normal. I no longer have something to attend to early in the morning on Fridays, which is good. That means getting to sleep later is less of an issue.
The past month(s) has been surreal for me for a multitude of reasons. You know about the Reddit-related ones, but there were some in my personal life, too. Really the Reddit-related stuff isn't separate from my personal life, it's part of it. I can't say that Reddit stuff isn't a "real life" thing given that I devoted over half a day solely to it semi-recently. It's just that none of the resources I have to deal with problems in my personal life apply to Reddit and vice versa.
Goodnight. Time to try and relax.
