News flash! Mass communication is bad for you!

Well, I've come to the opinion that it is bad for me anyway. When I am low (which I am right now) I cannot effectively select which messages are for me and which do not apply. subjects like obesity, privilige, inclusivity and "how to treat group X,Y,Z", all seem to be telling me that I'm not doing enough, I'm not getting anything right.

Beautifully put.

I logged into LJ! As the other commenter said, you make the point well, and I reckon it applies to some other things too. You are not alone, you are not being unreasonable, and I send you many whuddles.

I sometimes wish there was a minimal version of fb that would let me keep the being in touch with folk (and sloths!) but lose the time-and-spoons sink. Though I can be pretty bad for clicking on things in the same way you describe...

*sends you all the hugs* If there is anything I can do to help, let me know. I love and admire you

I'm a carer to a partner with chronic health problems and I agree completely. It sucks and the limited support available is usually targeted (rightly!) at the person with the condition but it doesn't leave space for us. I've found finding safe people to vent to really helpful but with so much of it, you just have to keep grinding on.

Thank you! You are Wonderful! I'd forgotten that you know exactly where I'm coming from on this. Most days/weeks/months are fine, but some of it really grinds. Thank you!
