Not feeling great today at all. Headache and light sensitivity that comes and goes (all this screen time and coffee definitely not helping), starting to feel nauseous, really ragged and tired. Brain distorting random memories about thesis into nightmare situations. Taking it as an overwhelming sign to take a break...
Luckily I snapped out of being bed-locked and booked myself in for a full one hour massage this arvo at a place round the corner, ahead of psych session later. It's an ongoing thing to actually choose things that legitimately feel good instead of constantly hunting down digital dopamine.
My anxiety and catastrophising always spikes before I get sick. But thesis writing will do it too. Wise choice of massage before your psych appointment. Take care
Definitely felt like I was heading in the direction of falling sick but sort of self-generated as opposed to catching a bug. I'm not entirely surprised tbh, this whole thing has brought up a lot of old memories and ingrained bad habits etc. I can't wait to be free of this burden and move on with life ๐
