My 5k was... very poor tonight. Was struggling with a feeling that used to happen a lot before I went keto to ease bipolar symptoms. I've been off keto for budget, but I think I'm going to have to strategize a low-cost version.
This might be why I've been feeling so dysregulated as of late. And why I felt better for 3 weeks during my "food plan".
Sleep. Hydration. Exercise. Food plan for your biochem. Laughter & hugs, breath & quietude. The essentials for wellbeing.
Take good care of yours.
sleep well!
@MLClark Having a creative mind is the price we pay for being a writer.
I have random bouts of depression. Why? No reason. They're not bad, e.g. no "I'm going to end myself," just ennui. (A word that deserves a lot more use than it gets ...)
I haven't been able to do much exercise the last couple weeks for multiple reasons. I think that has something to do with it. No adrenaline fix.
Go see the #Barbie movie. It's bonkers. 😊

This is actually a huge relief.
As a "thinker" and writer, I have a tendency to rationalize every low state through existential crises. I must feel like X because nothing's going right with Y. Because I have no idea what the future will hold. Because of A or B that I'm still grieving.
But sometimes the answer is much simpler.
Sometimes it's just the body being a body.
& when I remember that, it's easier to let go of stories that do not serve.
Night, CoSo. Be well. 🌌
