Long term chronic stress, and nerve pain that used to be terrible and constant. Even if I'm sitting absolutely still, I'm still running inside. Even now. As I mindlessly browse, I'm running. The backend of my mind is selectively tensed and tightly coiled. To stop and actually engage with something or learn is either blocked or I quickly lose interest becomes I'm not actually letting myself fade away and go into solution with the material.

I must remain solid. Everything is about control, I must never slip, nor ever fall. I crawled and hobbled for a long time, and maybe that's all I'm still doing to this day.

I need to go get something done. My life is completely static and my house is a dead mausoleum.

Not them, but he's right. The world is fucked, and it's very, very bad.

I haven't given up and I know it's only over if you give up, and I finally pulled myself out of some deep despondence recently, but it's really looking like checkmate when I flip the board around. Shit's bad, and everyone is paralyzed and focused on the wrong things. Meanwhile, the foot keeps coming down as you're engulfed in the darkness of its shadow.

Same. Never had it corrected in any way, realized I couldn't jump on a trampoline, and later realized I couldn't jog without severe lumbar area pain. Spine snaps around occasionally.

Still never treated it formally, but I try to hold myself differently, stretch, and so on. Seems to work and the pain is gone, but my jaw and cervical spine are quite slow to correct.

Air pollution so bad that we had last week off and now this week off of school.
It was so unexpected that i’ve been out of school rhythm since the first day. I’ve been high and watching anime 24hrs a day. My brain is fried and I don’t know how I’m going to catch up with 2 missed weeks of instruction. Shouldn’t be too bad, maybe.
