I crashed out yesterday

It wasn't even over anything major. But, a tiny inconvenience opened the door for rumination, which quickly led to a spiral. It's surprisingly hard to apply the things that are so easy to apply in brain school. It's so easy to be non judgemental about my emotions, until I'm beating myself up over having a panic attack over something truly unimportant.

I did successfully utilize HALT, which is a body scan that asks, "Am I Hungry, Angry, Lonely, or Tired?" since those things can all affect my ability to be mindful. Yesterday, the answer was yes to all of them. I got home, made an easy dinner, took a nap, and texted a friend. Today, I feel way better.

I think I'm going to cut 2CaS, another old-internet social media, out. It feels like the site is kept alive by one or two deeply unhappy power users. Maybe I'll go back in the future, see if the crowd grew up or changed at all. Maybe not.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
