I use the CW for fasting commentary so as not to stress out folks with eating disorders (though my Ramadan experiment was different), but I'm starting to realize that I do have *one* disordered behaviour of my own:
Binging like a squirrel in the fall, after a stressful run-in with someone on the street.
Yesterday a neighbour I don't know burst into tears at me, while I was coming home with groceries. His mother had just died, and he tried to latch onto me in grief.

Amid his sobbing I made out that he saw me on the street being so nice, and couldn't I please just sit with him for a while because he had no one and his mum had just died, and he didn't know what he was going to do about all the costs.
Now, I got myself out of that mess with great courtesy for a clearly struggling human being...
But then I went home and just ate and ate.
And I've done this before. Not a useful coping mechanism!
So, I have some work to do on myself.

Oh, but for now:
NOT A FUNGIBLE SUPPORT CANADIAN.
This currency is finite, and right now would really like to be left alone a lot more. π
(So, going to be withdrawn from the world for a bit, while recharging my battery of tolerance for being around others. The world is so full of loneliness and need, but when I can't even go *a block* without tripping into demands of me, it wears on this very amicable introvert very much.)

Oof. Previously undiscovered revelations are the "best", aren't they? They drive by and leave you with so much to unpack!
I hope you're being kind with yourself as you process your own. π«

I don't think we affirm one another enough for how HARD all that work can be in the best of times, let alone with *gestures at the state of the world* - so I'm just going to say it: I'm super proud of you and thankful for all the work you've been doing to grow into a deeper understanding and love of your brilliantly messy self.
Well done, you! πͺ It matters so, so much.
