What is the thought in your head that makes your eyes wide open and bloodshot? The thought that constantly echoes in your head, but you cannot shake off.
Nothing, I suck at sleeping and now I gave up and am browsing Lemmy
My son is getting older every day. Soon I won’t have to read him bedtime stories any more and he won’t want to cuddle all the time.
Everything is on fire. Bugs are dying, teflon - and chemicals are everywhere, micro plastics, warming oceans, invasive species, west Nile virus, ohh cancer that I might be actually developing right now, the emptiness of existence, the inability to change big things, that at the end it won’t matter. Nobody cares. Me doing my part doesn’t matter. Immeasurable human stupidity, global upcoming financial crisis.
These are of the top of my head. But I do know how to keep my head in the sand, so at least I can sleep well enough.Its fine
My therapist suggestion was to: bear witness.
That maybe our role is just to watch it burn, to acknowledge it is on fire.
So it’s fine :) at least I don’t have kids to worry about.This fits well with my philosophy: I tolerate continued existence out of a morbid sense of curiosity.
