I think I’m having a bit of an autistic burnout moment over politics. I’m moving a lot more left over the years but just don’t feel like I can do anything. I have 2 years left on a work contract and it would be killer to lose that job, but also I want to help people in ways where quitting might be the best option. I want to learn about politics and history more, but I also don’t want to stress about it because I don’t feel like it changes things that much. Id like a community that talks about these feelings and I feel like this should be that community for me. Let’s just chat about it.
When I start feeling like that, I pick up my garbage-grabber stick and a bag and stroll through my neighborhood picking up trash.
It’s a small thing, but it’s a physical and immediate thing. It’s almost meditative due to its simplicity.
And random people stopping to thank me is pretty nice, too.
Yeah I 2nd this OP. Do the little immediate things and while you do them you can meditate on what other little things you can work on.
