Sigh, I'm struggling with a Thing I don't like in my life, friends, but I can't change it. Well. Not immediately (unless I'm willing to face some really unpleasant consequences, and I'm not).

I can work towards changing said Thing but that will take time, and meanwhile, I need to be OK with the status quo. This is unsettling and annoying because I've really reached the end of my tether with the Thing.

I need to focus on radical acceptance/gratitude/what good I have in my life over the next few days. Currently I'm journalling, writing lists of 'things I love and are good in life', spending time with my favourite folk, planning some gardening...

any other tips will be greatly appreciated. This is taking up a lot of energy and it's demoralising and sad.

@teadrinker Stop following the news for a bit. It takes a lot of emotional energy to digest all the crazy stuff in the world. Hope things improve for you soon!
@CavedaleRhones Gosh, this is excellent and underrated advice. It feels like it's not the news that is taking up all that space but of course the news is A LOT, all this futility and needless suffering and next-level stupid, and I'm probably holding onto more stress about it than I realise
