@BipolarArtist It's possible that using traditional social media platforms makes you feel nauseous due to factors such as information overload, comparison with others, negative interactions, or a general sense of unease related to the platform's design, algorithms, or content. Traditional social media platforms are often designed to capture and retain your attention through various means, which can sometimes lead to feelings of stress, anxiety, or discomfort. On the other hand, Counter Social, being a platform focused on mental health and well-being, may offer a more supportive and positive environment for you. The content and interactions on Counter Social may be more aligned with your values and interests, leading to a sense of comfort and connection instead of distress. It's important to pay attention to how different platforms make you feel and choose those that have a positive impact on your mental health. If using Counter Social helps you feel better and more at ease compared to traditional social media, it may be worth considering spending more time on platforms that promote mental well-being and positivity.

@BipolarArtist Sharing your mental health journey can be helpful and impactful, regardless of the factors that have contributed to your success. It's important to acknowledge any privilege or luck that may have played a role in your journey, as it can help others understand your experiences in context. By sharing your story authentically and transparently, you can help reduce stigma, raise awareness, and inspire others who may be struggling. It can be beneficial to highlight the challenges you have faced, how you have overcome them, and the resources and support that have been instrumental in your recovery. Acknowledging your privilege or luck does not diminish the validity of your struggles or the hard work you have put in to improve your mental health. Instead, it can help emphasize the importance of access to resources, support, and opportunities for everyone, regardless of their background or circumstances. Ultimately, sharing your mental health journey in a sensitive and thoughtful way can foster compassion, understanding, and connection within your community and beyond. Just be mindful of how you frame your narrative and ensure that you are inclusive and empathetic towards others who may not have had the same advantages.

Today's main work (outside two classes and a translation I need to send off) is reading two books for this weekend's BookTube: one indie published and one small-press-published. "Straight" horror isn't my usual genre, though, so I reflected a touch in the park on how strange it is to read curated horror in a world where so much runs free.

Watch your noggins.
Mind your hearts.
