      2nd Journal

      By wheatbiscuit · Posted

      Monday afternoon: 'Relapses suck' doesn't quite do the process of recommitment to an electronic game justice.  Today, I finished the levelling system on the game I've regularly slaved at for 15 years (back then was when I had started to daydream about repetitive visual clicking goals). Aside from making a time goal of it at all, I shouldn't have built up the moment of fireworks in my mind, or paid attention to those who questioned/congratulated me on the endeavour. I had what was probably a kind of panic attack, because I couldn't figure out how to record or capture my screen for said fireworks, upon reaching the last-to-maximum level. It's a strange thing, having a mental condition that sees you avoid many pitfalls that an average-yet-healthy citizen might not, but being able to become trapped in routines that regularly neglect either the body or mind for some periods of time. This one involved my body, I think. In short, I haven't met/known a person, especially now, who can honestly say that such a goal/journey is worth it/worthwhile - if only because it only takes one poorly-timed catastrophe to wreck a person's situation; or a million, steady mouse-clicks. Glad to be here to explain that. Peace for the week, and start of a new season! ~ Matt Gratitude: ~ My dishwasher came apart, so I began to enjoy a handwashing task ~ I saw a manager-type at the grocer's holding it together well, after overhearing him discussing sick leave for mental health ~ Obviously, the climactic anticlimax of a fully-levelled official game profile - not to be imitated!  ~ Reading a sci-fi novel once again for the first time since I bought the series, during my 2023 detox
