This... and I didn't know how to reconcile it...

You take a break for your mental health. Then you come back to the fight when you're well.

Sounds easy, but I can't manage not to look. I am morbidly curious and all it takes is to open my feed reader app.

Use filters. I find it helps. I don't love the idea of turning a blind eye to some current events, but the mental health toll is real, and I need to worry about me a bit more right now and the assholes a little bit less I think.

That's what feels different for me this time. Before I took a break and came back fine. This time ... I just don't know... Every day is worse.

And that's WITH limitations on social media, getting outside more, medication and spending more time with family.

(It's like the therapist scene from Office Space)
