The Big Sad

    We all have problems or moments in our life that are difficult to handle. This week we learned that people can deal with them in two main ways which are externally and internally. Back in 2020 I (like most people at the time) had so serious mental health issues. It was mostly internalizing issues as I had extreme anxiety (I had a hard time telling a waiter what I wanted to eat at restaurants) and while never confirmed bad depression. Although this was really bad, I am glad that not much of it show up externally with actions like drinking, drug use, or financial trouble. Something that helped a lot during that time was my cat Mari (and Mister but him just because he was a little baby). She is such a cuddly sweet girl who would stay with me napping all day and purr the whole time.
