I was fixing my bad days backwards for a while, a text from my sister on a rough Wednesday flipped it
For months any crummy day meant I'd shut the laptop at 4 and just sit on the couch with my phone, and I thought that was resting. My sister texted me on a Wednesday back in March asking why I always went quiet on the exact days I sounded wrecked, and it clicked that my "rest" was just me scrolling and stewing. The next rough day I walked two blocks to the park by the corner store instead, and I came back way less fried than any couch session ever left me. Anyone else find out their version of unwinding was actually making the day worse?
