I have been avoiding everything hard lately. Instead, I’m doomscrolling, and then running around with distractions to assuage the ensuing anxiety and helplessness.
I need to change my approach. I’m going to put my ideas in my thread under my story. The short version is to focus on doing the hard things first.

I'm agitated. IDK what to do - my emotions are raw af and everything that is slightly emotional feels like I'm going to break entirely. Minor inconveniences feel like freakin fires in a fertilizer factory. It does not seem like a coincidence that this begins just as I am starting to turn around and face this pain that I've been hiding from in compulsive avoidance. It's not like I was running away for no reason.
I know what everyone else should do and i get irritable about their failure to recognize what they are doing to sabotage themselves. To my credit, I am refraining from telling them what I think they should do or that I know (oh so much more about) how to handle their lives. I believe it has a LOT to do with my frustration over my own poor judgement. I could write the textbook on how to learn to do something and then be completely useless at actually doing the thing in question.
I am getting more than a few intrusive thoughts. It's not too early to start getting ready for bed, though.

I feel way too much like a square and not a circle and thst makes me really dysphoric
Squares is being dramatic. making a big deal. being kinda formal. writing or talking like AI. having an outdated mentality.
Circled is relaxed, nonchalant. Fun loving but in a more muted, introverted way. Soft. Independent, individualistic. Is themselves, is never performative or people pleasing. Calm, but far from robotic, tone of voice.
Think apples vs bananas, 90s vs 2000s, researching stuff for pleasure vs watching cartoons and doing art.
on another note i hate how much my voice changes when i am really distressed. normally it sounds ok but when i am upset the pitch is higher, it sounds louder and more tense, nd my accent goes ugly.

To say it bothers me does not describe adequately the feeling for when I read how much pain and tiredmess many of us here are experiencing.
I'm sort of alright but not really. I don't know for sure. It could be progress if I've found and am practicing a kind of mindfulness that's helping, or it might be an approaching 'bridge out' sign if all I've done is built a defensive structure under which the distress over losing home and relationship is stufffed.
