Stress.

2020 in one word. Sometimes I feel like I can brush it all off. Sometimes it feels like the stress will swallow me whole. Intellectually I know to talk about it, but that is easier said (haha) than done. Lately I’ve noticed it’s impacting my sex life so I’ve taken to working out 4-5 days a week.

Isn’t it fascinating that mental and emotional self care is a job? You can’t just stumble upon a great mental/emotional well being. Life demands that you work to maintain it. I’m ok working for it as long as I know I’m headed in the right direction.

LPSG has provided an outlet that I need sometimes. Just to get away from the pressures of life and have fun banter with cool women and men along with a couple of GREAT chats.

I didn’t have a particular goal for this one. Just sharing what’s on my mind at this very moment. Later, fellow freaks!

I love the fact that it’s a job we’re each empowered to do ourselves. And we can either do a great job, and not beat ourselves up over stuff (as I find this causes extra stress) lol... or we can suffer. I choose to be happy on a daily basis. Even when things are hard. Even when people are acting weird. Especially if I’m the one making things in my own life hard, and I’m the one acting weird :)

I think that you’re good at talking about your feelings in these online blogs. Do you find them cathartic?

I’ve sorta slacked off on exercise lately, for really pitiful reasons (it’s too cold/too hot/now I can’t find the right pair of socks) kinda stuff. So I know I’m just being resistant about my own self care. Thanks for the reminder :)

@ArtAppreciation Thank you for the laugh on reasons not to exercise lol. That is the first time I’ve heard “I don’t have the right socks” :joy:. This is me encouraging you to go even with mismatched socks!

Yes I do find this cathartic. I believe because it’s a place with semi anonymity so I can just say whatever is on my mind sexual or non sexual, acceptable or deviant, happy or sad. I appreciate the space to do exactly that & I don’t have that same type of space in other places. This blog has lead me to start writing down my thoughts in a notebook just to simulate the same cathartic release.
 
I’ve had a lot of stress lately ...

For exercise my wife and son got me a season pass to the pool across the road so I am trying to do laps every now and then. I also gave up booze on my birthday. Two months sober today and feel better for it.

It has been a year tho!!!!!

In our area here in Australia we had bushfires in summer which I spent days on, including in devastated communities, then Covid which as been a rollercoaster for Australia. Our response has been great, knocking down spikes initially and subsequent, but today my wife is in Sydney and a new outbreak there. Its a nasty thing, which has brought out yhe best in many and the wirst in a few.

The thing is 2020 kinda feels like such a low, the only way to go is up ... so take care everyone, and remember to ‘spread the horror thin’ by talking about what is a worry. Never bottle stuff up.
