In reply to the discussion: Is it just me, or does anyone else kind of feel like they are kind of losing it a little lately? [View all]smirkymonkey
(63,221 posts)73. Totally!
Some days I feel like there is not enough time in the day to do everything I need/want to do and other days I am bored out of my mind and nothing seems to appeal to me.
I'm glad you mentioned that, because it's the bored moments that are the most disturbing to me. It's because I think it is more of a state of mind rather than an actual lack of anything to do. Thank you for checking in!

I finally escaped escapism. Then I realized I'd had it made the whole time, so I returned.

Even though 2020 is over and Trump lost the election, it's still a tough time for a lot of us.
