How are you doing? - Kiwi Farms Wellness Check

Feeling pretty good. The thing I find most annoying right now really is just mentally preparing myself to work and waiting to get started.

By the time I’m a couple hours into my shift, I find my groove and find myself feeling awesome.

It sucks having to jump from extremes. But at least I feel good right now.

Touching grass, get rid of some old useless junk, took some time away and kept things on the down low for a while. Feel like a new man almost but i think Im gonna keep doing that. Maybe stick around in just the general, multimedia, and maybe the A&H boards since those are the only places i can honestly say how i feel about what's goin on the world right now and not get called a racist, homophobic, transphobe, mysogionsit for it.

I feel like I'm having a mental breakdown.
At night I can't sleep. I toss and turn but still can't sleep. I feel like these four walls in my room are just staring at me. Everytime I close my eyes I start sweating and have been getting occasional nosebleeds. I feel like every twenty seconds I'm peeping out my window. My friends are telling me to chill, but in my mind I'm like fuck that, there's a nigga trying to kill me. Borderline impossible to cope tbh.
I feel like I'm doing dope.

Hey man,

I can relate to some real levels of stress. Let me say, if you are actually popping nosebleeds let's start there. Check your blood pressure. Gotta get that down. Lots of ways to do it. Meditation, bp meds, relaxation.

Also anxiety is super treatable. Probably the anxiety is connected to some stuff that is trickier, but the basic general panic attack is surprisingly easy to learn about and make progress on. Or the general anxiety. Get a workbook or find a therapist or self help book.

It's something we joke about but literally touch some fucking grass. And watch some cat or dog or baby videos, or have a cup of camomile. Just lean into something that feels solid for a minute.

Alright I'll stop sperging aboat this. Your message was short and I don't know what you need but I'm feeling stressed too so it hit me.

I guess it's just my mind playing tricks on me.

Preggo, exhausted, and still working as a piercer. Have taken up baking bread, and have had meds for my hyperemesis. Not feeling 100% but it’s worth it knowing my fragglet is growing safely.

Baking bread is a seriously cozy activity. It's hard not to feel at least somewhat good when you have freshly baked bread.

Really well, these days.

Got a nice routine going in the morning - water, vitamins, ginger and coffee to get going. I'll meditate for a bit, then maybe read a book with another coffee, before I'll allow myself to turn on a computer and get sucked into work and the internet.

Working out daily, got a nice home gym setup going. Sleep schedule is back on track, been getting a solid 8 hours for the last 4 or 5 weeks.

I've almost completely checked out of checking the news. I'll read a few magazines/newspapers once a week (Private Eye, Economist, New Statesman, Spectator) but other than that I don't check the news anymore.

Diet was a big one too - was slipping into a pattern of ordering delivery due to work hours, but I've got a few solid/quick recipes that I can prep in advance, rotating so I don't get bored of them.

All in all, everything seems like it's on an upswing. My skin is looking great, I'm in much better shape, and generally feeling a lot more at ease with myself.

I still have mostly terrible habits but have been walking nearly a 5k every day. I also seriously recommend ginger in nearly every possible form. Lately my go-to is this powdered thing called Ginger Honey Crystals from some company called Prince of Peace. I think it's some kind of religious cult but I don't really give a shit.
