@kimberlyhirsh Thank you for writing this. I’m a 💯 percent with you on the need for occasionally “grumping it out”. I’m amazed that you were able to stick with your appointments, I’d have a hard time doing that on such an event. That speaks of commitment and self sacrifice. I don’t know how common grumping it out is, but I expect it to be more common than we know. I’ve had many people trying to guide me into “meaningful activities” and self-help test-extroversion, but I know deep down that sometimes (more often than not) it’s only grumping it out that fixes me to become ok again. 🥴😮💨😌
@odd I didn’t write the original post - that was Dr. Katy Peplin, and I’m impressed she could show up for her clients, too. Glad it was a helpful read!
@kimberlyhirsh That sounds like my day, too. It’s a “give myself permission to do nothing” afternoon, because even the leisure things are feeling too much. Nothing deep or grand bothering me, though, fortunately

@verumsolum Yeah, there’s not anything really new bothering me. It’s just a combo of lack of sleep and superactive hormones, I think.
