No Politics In The Comments*
It's been a very disruptive year. Last year wasn't much better. However, with help from several apps and many friends, I've been able to pull myself out of the Blues I've been feeling. I hope many of us who've been struggling can also share ways we've kept ourselves going in the comments.
- Walking - it's repetitive but it's true for a reason. I could spout the science, but instead I'll just say - THANK YOU @POKEMONGO for getting me and my friends out and about more often rather than just for errands and appointments .
- Talking - again, it's cliche for a reason. Sharing and ranting and venting with people who care and understand is always helpful. SHOUT OUT TO THE GROUP CHATS! They help with humor, venting, and even finding solutions without feeling condescending.
- Lists - I know it's silly because half the time we misplace or forget them, but it kept me from feeling adrift if nothing else. It also helped me remember things later even if I'd left the (handwritten in some cases) list at home. THANK YOU @SAMSUNG_NOTES for the digital lists I kept and also the creative things I use you for.
Also, while I don't want politics in the comments because Mental Health Matters for every individual, I am very grateful to have used my right to vote this year. Maybe it's silly, but I love the sticker we get. It's like a participation trophy, I suppose, but it makes me smile every time.
