Yes, I still exist!

I haven’t been on social media for about a week, and I’m getting calls and messages from folks who are wondering if I’m ok.

I decided to take a month off social media. It’s also an assignment for my latest creative sprint with Graham Parker. Instagram, Facebook – it’s a real addiction. I’ve dipped in a couple of times – just hitting the button automatically, stopping and saying – oh wait!

Ultimately, I want my pre-social media brain back! Too much multi-tasking and (these days) too much stress has made me stupid. Or at least forgetful, unable to focus and concentrate.

Oh! and! I am spending time with people face-to-face. And that feels good and weird. But connection is so important to me, and after the pandemic, and then now living in the woods with my family, I can’t afford not to connect.

Caregiving is not suiting me

I understand why some people are concerned about not seeing me in social media land. I’ve been posting regularly about grief and struggle as a caregiver. In some ways I’ve been able to communicate my feelings in a big sweep, and in others ways around the communication, I scroll and get sucked into so much useless crap for hours (because I don’t want to deal with my life).

Yes, I am going through a really hard time. A lot of grief. Exhaustion. Burn out. Anger. Old familial patterns that I am pushing against. Insurance bullshit. Shooting in the dark day after day.

How things are going is not sustainable.

I could go on, but who wants to hear it? And, I have stuff to do!

I am opening to being willing to doing this differently.
