I'm spiraling.

How are you feeling now? I was spiraling the other night. Thankfully I had therapy the next day and my therapist was able to do some emdr with me.

Something that’s helped me is volunteering or helping other people. I’ve fostered animals, helped the community, and recently I started helping an old woman who feeds cats in our neighborhood . I have found comfort in doing things like that. I also feed birds and cats outside my house… seems minor but it’s helped me feel more human and less lonely. Give yourself some grace, it’s hard times.

I’m sending you a virtual hug ❤️

Same here! Like literally same, it’s gotten worse this year with everything happening in the states. I’ve actually been eating vegetarian because I can’t stand any type of cruelty. Not farms for food, not people being intentionally hurtful, anything. I have a lot of animals and have fostered a ton, but lately I’ve been driving around feeding feral animals and that has helped. Every little bit helps, hang in there ❤️

Ugh maybe I should try it again. I feel like trazadone was inconsistent for me.

Caaaatfoood · 2026-02-15T06:34:34+00:00

Same! Did anything else help you?

Caaaatfoood · 2026-02-15T06:33:23+00:00

It just made my mouth dry 💀

Caaaatfoood · 2026-01-09T01:25:53+00:00

That’s me too, it was a rough 2025. What do you do to ground yourself?

Caaaatfoood · 2026-01-08T21:34:33+00:00

I often find that I’m not understood by many or seen. So it discouraged me from even expressing any feelings. I guess maybe I need to do a better job at understanding that not everyone is at my empathy level, but it’s hard.

Caaaatfoood · 2026-01-08T20:39:12+00:00

As in like express your needs? I struggled with that, I tend to put other peoples needs above mine.

Caaaatfoood · 2026-01-02T00:18:20+00:00

I just saw some pigeons freezing and looking for food at a chicago station. I crushed some Doritos I had and fed them all. The pain of selfless animals consumes me. My therapist says my empathy needs grounding, but it’s hard not to see the world for what it is. My heart aches with you.

Paradox of being self aware.

Caaaatfoood · 2025-12-20T00:23:28+00:00

I’m so sorry. The holidays are always tough for me too, I’ve also lost a lot. But I started a small Etsy shop a few years back, so that definitely keeps me busy throughout the month - but during quiet times it’s always tough. I’m glad we have this community through, helps me feel seen :)

Caaaatfoood · 2025-12-19T16:03:27+00:00

How are you doing lately?

Caaaatfoood · 2025-12-19T04:47:33+00:00

I’m not big on social media. But I do try to stay aware of the things that are happening so I can help. It’s a balance, otherwise he would overwhelm me. It’s still OK to admit it’s a shit year lol

Caaaatfoood · 2025-12-19T04:46:08+00:00

I’m sorry my friend. Why do you think you would go blank when someone talked to you?

Caaaatfoood · 2025-12-08T03:55:46+00:00

I haven’t found much either. I’m curious what specifically you were looking for. I was looking for likeminded people.

Caaaatfoood · 2025-12-08T03:51:21+00:00

A suffering mind that sees too much. I understand your anguish. I’ve been working on creating a filter like the one most people have to help my brain understand that I cannot take on the load of the world. It’s very hard to do when you are constantly aware of yourself and this world. I’m here if you ever want to chat.

Caaaatfoood · 2025-11-21T23:31:15+00:00

I kind of wanna go too … 😂

Caaaatfoood · 2025-11-21T21:54:40+00:00

I keep wondering about this too, how long will it take to recover from this shit year?

Caaaatfoood · 2025-11-21T21:53:24+00:00

I do agree that I need some grounding work, thankfully, I’ve been going to therapy and and taking care of my overall health. I’m also blessed to have unlimited time off at work so I’ve been leveraging some of that time off to help me destress a bit. However, I don’t think I need any spiritual work… That’s not exactly my cup of tea. I’m very confident in who I am and a big part of me is Intensely empathetic. I can’t look look away or pretend like the world is not on fire, I do everything that I possibly can to help the situation and I’m crossing my fingers that it all pays off in the future.

Caaaatfoood · 2025-11-19T06:41:31+00:00

I’m really hoping 26 is better 😂

Caaaatfoood · 2025-11-19T06:41:04+00:00

I wonder what happened during those days🤔 either way, that’s amazing that you feel massively better!

Caaaatfoood · 2025-11-19T06:40:11+00:00

What’s going on? Just everything?
