My grip had always been as sketchy as the next guy but I never thought it would wind up slipping where it did (sneaky, sneaky).
If you'd like to chat in meatspace about life-teflon I'd happily do that. The current thing I'm focusing on is all about the letting go a la... cling harder and it will squirt away like cosmic soap. No idea if this works though: I still can't fully let go so I'm just juggling the squirts (as usual).
Depends on where you feel your grip is weakest. Of course, we all see our problems from the perspective of the tools we have at hand - I tend to see things from the perspective of lifting weights and epistemology: divide the world into bite-sized chunks, and exercise what you're weakest in handling. Happy to go for a coffee and chat; YMMV.
Those things don't travel alone, and therein lies the rub.
They require money and that requires a job, and job requires things like work-appropriate clothes, and travel and training and soap to myself once in a while and a fake smile when I feel like shit. And that means shopping and groceries and food prep and figuring out how not to poison myself and more soap. And that's where I start to lose my grip again.
I hear you Sio, that's what this year has been about for me, finally getting there with new meds (Pristiq), although I don't have to worry about looking for work. Still, it was affecting my showering etc. On my bad days I try to achieve three things, which can include self care (showering), admin (phone call) and housework.

As an adult, with mortgage and other externals, I am not sure how that is possible. But is seems to be a good plan.
