Yeah, lots of choices here, but in my own case "tired" would be one of the top answers.

I created a follow up "tired" poll if you want to fill it out.

Follow up poll: Do you feel tired? (And this should be unrelated to it being bedtime or you having just worked out.) [ ] Yes, always. [ ] Yes, most of the time. [ ] Yes, sometimes. [ ] Rarely. [ ] Never.

@baltakatei It is a bit alarming.
Show threadmethuselahOct 27
I guess when you do this kind of poll on social media, mostly users will choose the given 2 which has got highest ratings now. As social media does makes things crap
Show threadLogan Five ThousandOct 27
@methuselah That's an interesting assumption about choosing the highest rated results. Do you have research backing that up? I'd be curious to read more about it.
Show threadmethuselahOct 28
It's not research by i had left google plus and Facebook long back, things are pretty clear, mostly social media makes people sick

@LoganFive pain is a constant friend but my neuropathy that worsens mostly on a seasonal basis is beginning to creep up, which always brings annoyance. The rest does vary though with the somewhat changing happenings.
Show threadLogan Five ThousandOct 27
@BrahmaBelarusian You sound like you manage your emotions, pain, and experiences well. Do you have any tips?
Show threadMalka BethOct 27
@LoganFive lol, I'm not sure how true that is for the hermit like state I am in so often, but overall I think the keys for at least somewhat decent survival are to: never loose the ability to nor time in your schedule to laugh, and to keep your dreams big, but your short term expectations of yourself small.
