To borrow a song lyric from the rock opera, "Jesus Christ Superstar",
......."Then I was inspired, now I'm sad and tired."

So yeah, I have been denying this for some time, but I am truly sad/heartbroken and tired/weary. It is a habit I have to push my feelings down, but now I am too tired to even do that. There is happiness too and I am grateful for many things, but beneath it all I am sad and tired.

I feel relieved, I went to therapy today. I had a major breakthrough too. I wore a mask, don't have any symptoms, and neither did anyone there. I am glad I went.

Feeling the harshness of the reality of what is going down right now more so than ever, so far.

Seeing the emptiness in the streets, feeling the ripples of increasing sadness and despair of friends who aren't able to continue to operate their livelihoods, hearing of the uncertainties of so many people who may be losing their homes/vehicles/can't pay their bills/can't receive medical or mental health attention, etc.

I guess distancing myself for the health of it for so many years helps in a way, but it also makes me feel helpless as to how I can help others. A double-edged sword. These are times when my brain tries to tell me my methods of necessary self-care are probably selfish, then I feel guilty for having what many others are struggling to hold on to or to even get. I remember what it felt like, but under different circumstances.

Then I have to tell my brain to STFU and I start reciting the metta/loving kindness mantra and find healthy ways to entertain my brain and body to try to make some shift happen. May all beings be safe...
