The year's end, at last

The end of the apparent first year of a new decade and it wasn’t a fun one with covid and anxieties over the election. I did make some progress though. After some personal struggles, I decided to go to therapy and eventually also decide to take some anxiety medication. It led to some solutions to current worries, like only taking in an hour of bad news a day whether from news sites or on social media. For social media, this sometimes meant withdrawing from a few accounts altogether, whether because I barely used them anyway or some people being disappointing in a bigoted manner gave me the impetus to do so. This included livejournal. I was already having trouble with double-posting there and I don’t post anything unique at livejournal anyway and since I already copy posted everything there to dreamwidth, I thought I might as well delete it. I also learned and got taught various calming techniques. Even if they don’t always work, they have helped with some of the stresses I have. There is still a lot more progress to make but I’m getting there. And at least Trump was voted out of office. Biden will need to be pushed into a more progressive direction but at least that fascist wannabe will be out of power.

That's all for now. At last this cruddy year is over. Until the conclusion of January, see you!
