I thought I was trying to post more often! Oh well... another failure.

I've been sort of wanting to post about random crap in my life for a week or two, but as I've been following the news coming out of Iran, every post I've wanted to make made me feel like I was complaining about nothing and I should shut up about my stuff. Thing is, I can't really live like that - things will always be worse for someone else out ( Read more... )

angst, current events, ranting, obsession, work

I feel bad that I've been affected by this current issue more than any other. Bad things happen to lots of people in lots of places - if I interrupt my life for Iran, why did I not interrupt my life for Dafur? Does this make me a bad person that I didn't care about their suffering? Etc etc... These are the ways that I sit and make myself feel like shit.

I'm somewhat flattered that you'd think about what I may think about something, especially when it's not something one would automatically associate with me. Or at least, I shouldn't think one would automatically associate MJ with me.

I've had CBT before. I'm not sure if it made a difference though. At the time, I was regularly going to the gym and I'd lost a ton of weight and so was feeling good about myself. I reckon that had more of an impact on reflection. I think my mood swings are very closely tied to my self-perception. I tend to feel better when I'm being productive and moving closer to Ideal!Me.
