Something I’ve been struggling w is the worry that I have no future, or there is no future, which right now is bc of the pandemic, but in the past is something I’ve experienced as part of depression. I keep thinking about what it would be like to feel that for the 1st time, rn.

I am guessing: super shitty! So what I’m doing to cope (other than reminding myself that there *will* be some kind of future) is giving myself short, medium, and long-term goals that I can work towards, stuff that fakes a future in this weird sort of timeless miasma.

For me, it’s baking projects, gardening projects, a kids book, a poetry book, a fake triathlon. For you it could be something completely different.

I don’t know if this is helpful at all, if it is, take what you need & discard what you don’t.

I’m also trying to learn how to relax and “be content,” which is tbh very characteristically the thing i would forget to mention (right now I’m sitting watching bumblebees in the lavender)
