My scared comes and goes in waves, partly in relation to sleep and in relation to keeping track of my self-care, checking off that I am taking my medicine appropriately in consulation with my doctor appropriately et cetera. I have been doing that quite well lately. Things are actually improving overall and I am gaining a better, holistic view of what is going on, and I don't want to miss that especially as I am developing better strategies currently as the days roll on for protecting myself and those I care about such as, old fashioned but, my family. I don't feel hopeless. It's just scared and confusion which turns into guilt and after a while a need to lash out but I have been getting better at, instead of lashing out, doing something that doesn't hurt anyone, say for instance punching a pillow when no one is looking (cuz that might scare them!). It's tough to figure out good rituals for all that but my favorite is just writing down each morning using "I" statements three things I am grateful for and doing the same practice in the evenings. I think some of my experiences are a bit spiritual in nature and I prefer to keep those to myself but it is difficult with the lack of privacy. And I hate psychiatric hospitals because they use a lot of confinement and unjust control of people. I have some good ideas about where I should go from here, but I need to remember to take it slow and careful and drink enough water, get enough sleep, ya know, the basics. Thanks for emailing, and happy cypherpunking, y'all, Doug ------------------------------ Subject: Digest Footer _______________________________________________ cypherpunks mailing list [11]cypherpunks@lists.cpunks.org [12]https://lists.cpunks.org/mailman/listinfo/cypherpunks ------------------------------ End of cypherpunks Digest, Vol 106, Issue 108 ********************************************* References 1. mailto:cypherpunks-request@lists.cpunks.org 2. mailto:cypherpunks@lists.cpunks.org 3. https://lists.cpunks.org/mailman/listinfo/cypherpunks 4. mailto:cypherpunks-request@lists.cpunks.org 5. mailto:cypherpunks-owner@lists.cpunks.org 6. mailto:dal@riseup.net 7. mailto:dal@riseup.net 8. mailto:gmkarl@gmail.com 9. mailto:cypherpunks@lists.cpunks.org 10. mailto:9a63c48d1aff23f540489217b283f266@riseup.net 11. mailto:cypherpunks@lists.cpunks.org 12. https://lists.cpunks.org/mailman/listinfo/cypherpunks
